ESTUDO FITOQUÍMICO E ATIVIDADE LARVICIDA DE Mesosphaerum suaveolens (L.) KUNTZE

Abstract

Este estudo avaliou a composição química e a atividade larvicida do óleo essencial de Mesosphaerum suaveolens (L.) Kuntze, espécie da família Lamiaceae amplamente empregada na medicina tradicional. O óleo essencial foi obtido por hidrodestilação e caracterizado por cromatografia gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massas (CG-EM), identificando-se o eucaliptol como composto majoritário, seguido por fenchol, sabineno e germacreno. A toxicidade preliminar, avaliada frente a Artemia salina, revelou efeito citotóxico moderado, sugerindo um perfil de segurança aceitável para aplicações biológicas. Nos ensaios larvicidas contra Aedes aegypti, o óleo apresentou atividade expressiva, com valores de CL₅₀ de 41,61 µg/mL e 45,98 µg/mL, indicando alta eficácia no controle das larvas do vetor. Esses achados reforçam o potencial biotecnológico de M. suaveolens como fonte natural de compostos bioativos com ação inseticida, podendo contribuir para o desenvolvimento de produtos fitoterápicos e biolarvicidas sustentáveis. Assim, o óleo essencial dessa espécie representa uma alternativa promissora para estratégias ecologicamente corretas de controle de vetores de importância em saúde pública, como o A. aegypti, transmissor da dengue, zika e chikungunya.
