This study evaluated the larvicidal activity of Origanum majorana Linnaeus essential oil, identified the chemical composition, evaluated the antimicrobial, cytotoxic and antioxidant potential. The larvicidal activity was evaluated against larvae of the third stage of Aedes aegypti Linaeus, whereas the chemical composition was identified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometer, the antimicrobial activity was carried out against the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus auereus, the antioxidant activity was evaluated from of 2.2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazila sequestration and Artemia salina Leach cytotoxicity.

Article Synopsis
  • Aeollanthus suaveolens, known as catinga de mulata, is a medicinal plant from the Amazon used for ailments like gastritis and diarrhea, with its essential oils exhibiting analgesic and antimicrobial properties.
  • A study analyzed the chemical makeup of its essential oil, which was collected in Macapa-AP, and found key components like (E)-β-farnesene and linalool.
  • Results indicated that while the essential oil showed high cytotoxic activity against Artemia salina and varying antimicrobial effects against different bacteria, it did not demonstrate any antioxidant activity.
