چکیده
A composição química dos óleos essenciais das folhas e flores de Hyptis passerina Mart., uma espécie rara do cerrado brasileiro, está sendo descrita pela primeira vez. A análise por CG-EM revelou sesquiterpenos como constituintes majoritários. β-epi-acorenol (35.7% e 32.8%, respectivamente no óleo essencial das folhas e flores) foi isolado e identificado por RMN uni e bidimensionais. O óleo das flores apresentou maior concentração de monoterpenos (hidrocarbonetos e oxigenados), enquanto que o óleo das folhas foi mais rico em diterpenos. O aroma dos óleos foi investigado por análise olfatométrica direta e por CG-EM-O. Foi observado, para ambos os óleos, aroma herbáceo, com o óleo das folhas contendo nuances aromáticas de verde, cozido e madeiroso, lembrando chá, enquanto o óleo das flores apresentou aspectos de aroma condimentado, madeiroso e mentolado. β-epi-acorenol, espatulenol, β-cariofileno e óxido de cariofileno mostraram-se relevantes para a atividade odorífera dos óleos, bem como, constituintes minoritários como o linalol. A atividade antimicrobiana dos óleos foi investigada pelos métodos de difusão em disco de agar e bioautografia de contato contra bactérias Gram-positivas, negativas e fungos. Os óleos apresentaram-se ativos contra os microorganismos com nível de inibição significativo.
