AbstractMARTINI, Marcia Guimarães. Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activityof the Essential Oils from Ocimum selloi Benth, Hesperozygis myrtoides (A.St.-Hil.) Epling (Lamiaceae). Dissertation (Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences).Facul<strong>da</strong>de de Farmácia, Universi<strong>da</strong>de Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro,2011.The family Lamiaceae has approximately 220 classes and about 3,500 to 4,000species. Species of this family are known to be very aromatic and therefore are usedin cooking. Ocimum selloi Benth is a Brazilian native plant, used in traditionalmedicine and sold in open-air markets in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Hesperozygismyrtoides (A. St.-Hil.) Epling is a very aromatic shrub found in the State of MinasGerais, which grows at altitudes of 1800 meters. Mentha pulegium L. originates in theMediterranean region and parts of Asia, with a pleasant aroma of "mint" and animportant chemical polymorphism. The objective of this study was to analyze thevolatile constituents from different individuals of O. selloi, H.myrtoides and M. pulegium volatile composition to correlate a volatile compositionwith possible chemotypes, as well as evaluating the antimicrobial activity of essentialoils and perform accelerated stability study. O. selloi was purchased from open-airmarkets, while the M. pulegium was purchased from an herbal producer of the city ofTombos/ MG. The H. myrtoides was collected in the top of mountains around the cityof Aiuruoca/ MG. The essential oils of these species were extracted byhydrodistillation in modified Clevenger apparatus and analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. The antimicrobial tests were made by “drop test” and the MIC against strains ofGram positive and negative bacteria. MIC was also done for clinical strains. Theaccelerated stability test was conducted in a climatic chamber, according to theANVISA protocols (2005). The Metilchavicol substance was identified as thepredominant in all the oils of O. selloi, ranging from 92.7% to 97.6%. The majorconstituents of the essential oil of H. Myrtoides were identified as pulegone (44.4%)
