“…This phytoconstituent is active against HSV-1 in vitro and it has anti-inflammatory action, where it blocks the NF-κB pathway (Adorjan & Buchbauer, 2010). Garcia et al (2008) demonstrated the activity of citral against the fungi Colletotrichum musae, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Fusarium subglutinans f.sp. ananas.…”

“…Outra consequência negativa do uso de agrotóxicos é a seleção de raças do patógeno resistentes a doses crescentes (Ghini & Kimati, 2000). Para minimizar este impacto, o uso de fungicida nas doses recomendadas, a rotação do principio ativo e do modo de ação, bem como, a busca de produtos alternativos no controle de fitopatógenos, entre eles, o uso de compostos do metabolismo secundário de plantas, tem sido constantemente pesquisado.…”

RESUMO:Objetivou-se avaliar a ação de diferentes concentrações de óleos essenciais de três plantas medicinais sobre o crescimento micelial, a produção e a germinação de conídios de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.). Utilizou-se os óleos essenciais de Lippia sidoides Cham., Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf.) e Ocimum gratissimum L. em cinco concentrações (0 µL mL -1 , 1 µL mL -1 , 3 µL mL -1 , 5 µL mL -1 e 7 µL mL -1 ) com 4 repetições no delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 5x3. Os óleos foram analisados por cromatografia gasosa acoplada com espectrometria de massas. Para todas as características verificou-se efeito significativo da interação "Óleo" versus "Concentração". O óleo essencial de C. citratus proporcionou a maior inibição do crescimento micelial em todas as concentrações testadas. Os outros óleos não se diferenciaram, exceto a partir da concentração de 5 µL mL -1 , onde o óleo de L. sidoides foi superior ao óleo de O. gratissimum. Na produção e germinação de conídios, o óleo de C. citratus, foi superior aos óleos de L. sidoides e de O. gratissimum nas concentrações de 1 µL mL -1 e 3 µL mL -1 , inibindo completamente a produção e germinação a partir da concentração de 3 µL mL -1 . As concentrações influenciam em todas as variáveis, ajustando-se à equação do modelo linear. Observa-se o decréscimo nessas, à medida em que se aumentam as concentrações dos óleos testados. Os óleos essenciais testados possuem efeito fungitóxico e fungistático. Palavras-chave: Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, compostos vegetais, controle de fitopatógenosABSTRACT: Chemical composition and in vitro activity of three essential oils on Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from passion fruit. The objective of this study was to evaluate the action of different concentrations of essential oils of three medicinal plants on the mycelial growth, production and conidial germination of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.). We used a completely randomized design, in a 5x3 factorial design, being five concentrations (0 µL mL -1 , 1 µL mL -1 , 3 µL mL -1 , 5 µL mL -1 e 7 µL mL -1 ) x three oils from Lippia sidoides Cham., Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf. and Ocimum gratissimum L., with four replications. The oils were analyzed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. There was a significant interaction of concentration versus species on all analyzed traits. The essential oil from C. citratus yielded the highest mycelial growth inhibition at all concentrations. The other oils were not differentiated, except at the concentration of 5μL mL -1 , in which the oil of L. sidoides was more efficient that the oil of O. gratissimum. In conidial production and germination, the oil of C. citratus was superior to the oil of L. sidoides and O. gratissimum at the concentrations of 1 µL mL -1 and 3 µL mL -1 , as it completely inhibited the production and germination of conidia at the concentrations of 3 µL mL -1 and above. The concentrations influenced all the variables, adjusting themselves to the linear model equation. We observed...

“…Most of the aroma from citrus fruit oil, cherries, and mint is due to the high content of monoterpenes, but they have no nutritional value because they are exclusively vegetable (Serrano et al,2006). Studies have shown that monoterpenes have various pharmacological properties including antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-spasmodic (Garcia et al, 2008;Kato et al, 1990;Singh et al, 2010;Karkabounas et al, 2006;Magalhães et al, 1998).…”

Abstract:The monoterpenes are secondary metabolites of plants. They have various pharmacological properties including antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-spasmodic, hypotensive, and vasorelaxant. The purpose of this research was to review the cardiovascular effects of monoterpenes. The data in this resarch were collected using the Internet portals Pubmed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Knowledge between the years 1987 and 2010. In the study 33 monoterpenes were included, which were related to each of the thirteen individual words: artery, cardiovascular, heart, myocyte, vasorelaxant, vessel, hypotension, hypotensive, cardiomyocyte, ventricular, vasodilatory, aorta, and aortic. The research utilized 22 articles published mainly in the journals Phytomedicine, Fundamental Clinical Pharmacology, Planta Medica, Life Science, European Journal of Pharmacology, and Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research. Of the 33 monoterpenes studied surveyed, sixteen of them had already been studied for their effects on the cardiovascular system: carvacrol, citronellol, p-cymene, eucalyptol (1,8-cineole), linalool, menthol, myrtenal, myrtenol, α-pinene, rotundifolone (piperitenone oxide), sobrerol, thymol, α-limonene, α-terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol, and perillyl alcohol. The main effects observed were vasorelaxation, decreased heart rate and blood pressure. This review showed that the monoterpenes may be considered promising agents for prevention or treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system.
