“…In Brazil, it was found that 85% of leaf oil was composed of α-pinene (30%), cis-ocimin (9%), trans-ocimine (9.5%), 2-β-pinene (20%) and α-humulene with 2.8% (Craveiro et al, 1983). The most components found in the Egyptian S. cumini were found before (Machado et al, 2011) in buds oil of S. aromaticum but the percentages were much smaller because of the abundance of the www.ccsenet.org/jas Journal of Agricultural Science Vol.…”

Leaves essential oils of Syzygium cumini L. Cupressus sempervirens L. and Lantana camara L., from Alexandria, Egypt were analysed by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antibacterial and antioxidant activities were assessed for each oil using minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) methods; respectively. The main oil constitutes were α-pinene (17.53%), α-terpineol (16.67 %) and alloocimene (13.55%) in S. cumini, trans-caryophyllene (15.57%) and α-humulene (9.16%) in L. camara and cedrol (21.29%), ∆ 3 -carene (17.85%) and α-pinene (6.9%) in C. Sempervirens. The antibacterial activity was studied against some bacterial strains. The oil of S. cumini demonstrated strong inhibition activity against the tested bacterial strains. The total antioxidant activity (TAA %) was 11.13, 9.13, 3.13% for S. cumini, L. camara and C. sempervirens, respectively. Our work revealed that the studied leaf oils are new promising potential sources of antioxidants and antibacterial compounds and good future practical applications for human and plant health.

“…Isto se deve à variação na concentração dos constituintes químicos mais abundantes nos seus óleos essenciais. 2 Assim, distinguem-se para esta espécie quatro tipos químicos como: anetol -para os exemplares coletados em Fortaleza (CE) e Viçosa (CE); eugenol -para os coletados em Areia Branca (RN) e Quixadá (CE); metil-eugenol -para os coletados em Ipu (CE) e Oeiras (PI); estragol -Tianguá (CE) e Granja (CE). 3 Por estarem presentes em diversas partes das plantas (produzidos pelo metabolismo), possuírem o seu potencial farmacológico comprovado em estudos científicos, por serem de fácil extração e economicamente viáveis, os óleos essenciais têm assumido papel de destaque nas pesquisas em produtos naturais.…”

Croton nepetaefolius Baill. is an aromatic plant native to the northeast of Brazil where it is extensively used in folk medicine as a sedative, orexigen and antispasmodic agent. In the present study the antinociceptive effects of the essential oil of C. nepetaefolius (EOCn), administered orally, were evaluated in male Swiss mice (20-25 g). In the acetic acid-induced writhing test, EOCn (100 and 300 mg/kg; N = 14 and N = 12, respectively) was effective at the highest dose. In the hotplate test, EOCn at 30 and 300 mg/kg, but not at 3 mg/kg, significantly increased the latency at all observation times up to the 180th min (N = 12 for each dose). In the formalin test, EOCn significantly reduced paw licking in the second phase of the test at 100 mg/kg (N = 12), but decreased it in both phases at 300 mg/kg (N = 12). At 30 mg/kg, the effect of EOCn did not differ from control values in either phase of the formalin test (N = 6). Pretreatment with naloxone (5 mg/kg, ip) significantly reversed the analgesic effect of morphine (5 mg/kg, sc) on both phases, but not that of EOCn at 300 mg/kg (N = 6) on both phases of the formalin test. The data show that orally administered EOCn promotes a dose-dependent antinociceptive effect whose mechanisms remain to be elucidated.
