“…Oliveira et al 31 showed that Lippia origanoides essential oil was effective against Candida spp., S. aureus, S. mutans, and other microorganisms. Nascimento et al 3 demonstrated the antiStreptococcus mutans activity of H. pectinata, using its essential oil rich in caryophyllene oxide (28%) and caryophyllene (28.3%).…”

“…5 H. pectinata has also been extensively used in mouth rinses by the population of the state of Sergipe, Brazil. 3 Earlier work has investigated the pharmacological properties of H. pectinata in the forms of essential oil, aqueous extract, methanolic extract or leaves. Bispo et al 4 and Lisboa et al 5 reported antinociceptive and antiedematogenic action of the aqueous extract, with low toxicity.…”

“…The chemical compositions of the essential oil of the H. pectinata leaves from three different geographical regions also showed variations. The main compounds in each oil were as follows: sabinene, β-caryophyllene (both from India), σ-cymene (West Africa) and β-elemene (Fiji archipelago) (Pietschmann, et al, 1998). While in other study, the H. pectinata essential oil produced in Africa showed high levels of β-caryophyllene (22.10%), it also showed high levels of germacrene D (28.00%) (Tchoumbougnang et al, 2005).…”

“…3 The species Hyptis pectinata (L) Poit, belonging to the Lamiaceae family and locally known as "sambacaitá" or "canudinho", is used as a medicinal tea (infusion or decoction) for treating skin diseases, gastric disorders, nasopharyngitis, nasal congestion, fever and others infections caused by bacteria and fungi. 4 Medicinal plants are liable to contain pesticide residues that may accumulate from agricultural practices, such as spraying, storage, transportation or soil treatment during cultivation. 5 Besides, different products (like pyrimethanil, ametryn, dichlofluanid, tetraconazole, flumetralin, kresoxim-methyl and tebuconazole) are used to control phytophagous insects and fungal pathogens on a variety of crops in the Northeastern part of Brazil.…”
