Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the chemical composition of the Piper arboreumAubl. essential oil (EO), and to evaluate its inhibitory activity in vitroagainst the enzymes butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The EO was obtained by steam distillation of the leaves, which were collected in Pindal canton of the Loja province in southern Ecuador. The chemical composition was analyzed using the gas chromatography technique coupled to a mass spectrometry detector (GC-MS) and gas chromatography coupled to a flame ionization detector (GC-FID). A total of 41 compounds were identified, the major components found in the oil were limonene (31,46%), β-selinene (12,01%), (E)-caryophyllene (7,53%), bicyclogermacrene (6,72%), germacrene D (3,83%) and β-elemene (3,63%). In in vitro analyzes, the EO showed high selective inhibition for BuChE with an IC50inhibition value of 29,3±3,3 μg/mL. By contrast, the EO was not active against the AChE enzyme (IC50was 100,1±15,2 μg/mL).
期刊介绍:
The Boletín Latinoamericano y del Caribe de Plantas Medicinales y Aromáticas (BLACPMA), [Latin American and Caribbean Bulletin of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants]; currently edited by the publishing house MS-Editions, is a bi-monthly international publication that publishes original peerreviewed research in the field of medicinal and aromatic plants, with nearly 20 years of experience. BLACPMA is a scientific journal that publishes two types of articles: Reviews (only in English) and Original Articles (Spanish or English), its main lines of action being agronomy, anthropology and ethnobotany, industrial applications, botany, quality and standardization, ecology and biodiversity, pharmacology, phytochemistry, pharmacognosy, regulatory and legislative aspects. While all areas of medicinal plants are welcome and the experimental approaches used can be broad and interdisciplinary; other areas of research that are not mentioned depend on the Editorial Committee for their acceptance.
