Salvia rosmarinus Spenn

This study aimed to determine the total phenolics, evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and the toxicity of nanoemulsions (O/W) and essential oils (EOs) from Salvia Rosmarinus (rosemary). GC/MS quantified 1,8-cineole (30.22%), alpha-pinene (22.14%), camphor (18.33%) and camphene (10.36%) as major components of EO. The EO CFT was quantified at 26.74 mg EAT g -1 and the refractive index at 1.466 nD 25°. In the antioxidant activity assay, an EC 50 of 80.33 mgL -1 was obtained for the EO and 19.56 to 408.85 mg L -1 for the nanoemulsions. In the anti-inflammatory activity assay, an EC 50 of 62.46 mgL -1 was obtained for the EO and 64.96 to 4220.25 mg L -1. Finally, the pharmacological activities tested showed efficient values for EC 50, thus being considered active. This activity is attributed to its chemical compounds present, thus encouraging studies with this species aiming at its potential application in a bioproduct formulated as presented in this study.
