RESUMO
Treze óleos essenciais de plantas da Colômbia, obtido por hidrodestilação ou hidrodestilação assistida por microondas, da planta inteira, caule, folhas e flores, foram analisados por técnicas de espectrometria de massa acoplada a cromatografia gasosa. Foi avaliada a citotoxicidade de óleos essenciais utilizando o ensaio com Artemia salina e suas atividades antioxidantes medindo seus efeitos sobre os níveis de substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico em microssomas de fígado de rato induzida por Fe2+/H2O2. Cinco óleos apresentaram alta citotoxicidade (LC50<10 µg/mL) sobre o ensaio de Artemia salina. A atividade antioxidante do óleo essencial de Ocotea sp., Tagetes lucida e Lippia alba (quimiotipo geranial) apresentaram os menores valores de Concentração Eficaz (CE50), na ordem de 31,1, 37,9 e 94,9 µg/mL, respectivamente. Os principais componentes desses óleos foram α-pineno (42 por cento), estragol (95,7 por cento) e geranial (30,4 por cento), respectivamente. Elettaria cardamomum e Lippia alba (quimiotipo carvona, Tolima) apresentaram moderada atividade antioxidante com valores de CE50 de 130,5 e 174,4 µg/mL, respectivamente. Os óleos essenciais de mollis Minthostachys mollis, Lippia alba (quimiotipo carvona, Cundinamarca), e Piper sanctifelisis não mostraram atividade antioxidante (CE50>1000 µg/mL).
ABSTRACT
Thirteen essential oils from Colombian plants, obtained by hydrodistillation or microwave-assisted hydrodistillation of total plant, stem, leaves, and flowers were analyzed by gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques. Cytotoxicity of essential oils was assessed using the brine shrimp assay, and their antioxidant activities measuring their effects on the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances on rat liver microsomes induced by Fe2+/H2O2. Five oils showed high cytotoxicity (LC50<10 µg/mL) on the brine shrimp assay. The antioxidant activity of the essential oil from Ocotea sp., Tagetes lucida and Lippia alba (geranial chemotype) showed the lowest mean effective concentrations (EC50), with values of 31.1, 37.9 and 94.9 µg/mL, respectively. The main components for these oils were α-pinene (42 percent), estragole (95.7 percent) and geranial (30.4 percent), respectively. Elettaria cardamomum and Lippia alba (carvone chemotype, Tolima) presented moderate antioxidant activities with EC50 values of 130.5 and 174.4 µg/mL, respectively. Essential oils from Minthostachys mollis, Lippia alba (carvone chemotype, Cundinamarca), and Piper sanctifelisis did not show antioxidant activity (CE50>1000 µg/mL).
