Resumen
Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) The essential oil isolated by hydrodistillation from unripe fruits of Myrcia laruotteana Camb. (Myrtaceae) was analyzed by GC and CG/MS. Forty-four components were identified, representing around 83% of total oil. The major components were a-bisabolol (23.6%) and a-bisabolol oxide B (11.5%). The cytotoxicity of the oil and of a fraction rich in a-bisabolol was tested in vitro against U251 (glioma), UACC-62 (melanoma), MCF-7 (breast), NC1-ADR/RES (ovarian-resistant), 786.0 (kidney), NCI-H460 (lung), PC-3 (prostate), OVCAR-3 (ovarian), HT-29 (colon) and K562 (leukemia) human cancer cells and against VERO (no cancer cell). The oil exhibited antiproliferative activity against all cell lines (TGI < 100 mu g/mL), with exception of NCI-H460 cell line (TGI > 125 mu g/mL). The highest activity of the oil was observed against U251 (TGI 20.46 mu g/mL), 786.0 (TGI 20.74 mu g/mL), UACC-62 (TGI 26.98 mu g/mL) and PC-3 (TGI 27.63 mu g/mL) cell lines. The fraction rich in alpha-bisabol showed a similar activity profile. It was most active against OVCAR-3 (TGI 8.58 mu g/mL) and 786.0 (TGI 8.74 mu g/mL). 23 5 SI 7 10 Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)
