“…In this regard, phytochemical studies with the species have revealed that its constituents may have a bioactive action since these studies indicate the presence of phenols, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenes, anthraquinones, and saponins. Previous studies have shown that this species has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-rheumatic, and healing activities [29,30]. Therefore, to expand scientific knowledge of the biological activities of Schinus terebinthifolius and to increase its possibility of becoming a potential herbal medicine, new studies are needed on its chemical characteristics, combined with detailed studies of its potential biological activities, with emphasis on antimicrobial activities.…”

Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus are the primary bacteria that cause clinical infections, such as urinary and intestinal infections, pneumonia, endocarditis, and sepsis. Bacterial resistance is an innate natural occurrence in microorganisms, resulting from mutations or the lateral exchange of genetic material. This serves as evidence for the association between drug consumption and pathogen resistance. Evidence has demonstrated that the association between conventional antibiotics and natural products is a promising pharmacological strategy to overcome resistance mechanisms. Considering the large body of research demonstrating the significant antimicrobial activities of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, the present study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition and antibiotic-enhancing effects of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi essential oil (STEO) against the standard and multidrug-resistant strains of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. The STEO was extracted by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type vacuum rotary evaporator. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the STEO was assessed by the microdilution method to evaluate the antibacterial activity. The antibiotic-enhancing activity of the essential oil was assessed by determining the MIC of antibiotics in the presence of a sub-inhibitory concentration (MIC/8) of the natural product. The GC-MS analysis revealed alpha-pinene (24.3%), gamma-muurolene (16.6%), and myrcene (13.7%) as major constituents of the STEO. The STEO potentiated the enhanced antibacterial activity of norfloxacin and gentamicin against all the strains and increased the action of penicillin against the Gram-negative strains. Therefore, it is concluded that although the STEO does not exhibit clinically effective antibacterial activity, its association with conventional antibiotics results in enhanced antibiotic activity.

“…Schinus molle é conhecida popularmente como aroeira-salsa e distribui-se amplamente pelo Rio Grande do Sul. Além disso, essa espécie tem potencial de uso madeireiro, medicinal e condimentar (MACEDO et al, 2021). Já S. terebinthifolia é conhecida popularmente por aroeira-vermelha, por conta do seu fruto avermelhado, chamado também de pimenta-rosa, o qual é utilizado mundialmente como condimento culinário e com potencial farmacêutico (PÍCCOLO et al, 2018).…”

O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar a influência do uso de hidrogel e mulching de cobertura morta sobre a sobrevivência e crescimento de mudas de Rhododendron simsii, Schinus spp. (S. terebinthifolia e S. molle) e Cupressus lusitanica. Para isso foram instalados três blocos, contendo quatro tratamentos inteiramente casualizados: T1: Tratamento controle (irrigação tradicional, sem mulching); T2: aplicação de hidrogel e sem mulching, T3: aplicação de hidrogel e com mulching e T4: irrigação tradicional e com mulching. A sobrevivência foi próxima a 100% para todas as espécies e tratamentos. Não houve efeito dos tratamentos sobre as variáveis avaliadas para R. simsii. Para Schinus spp., o tratamento T3 resultou em incremento em diâmetro da base significativamente superior do que T4 (TCRd; F = 3,13; p = 0,03). Para C. lusitanica, todas as variáveis avaliadas tiveram 3,50= 66,5; p ≤ 0,01; altura total (cm): F = 5,69; p ≤ 0,01; TCRd: F = 5,14; p ≤ 0,01; TCRh: F seu custo de implantação e manutenção é inferior ao sistema de irrigação por gotejamento e todas as espécies avaliadas apresentaram crescimento em altura e diâmetro igual ou superior à irrigação convencional.
