Antioxidant capacity and biological activity of essential oil and methanol extract of Conobea scoparioides (Cham. & Schltdl.) Benth.
Rebelo, Monaliza M.;Silva, Joyce Kelly R. da;Andrade, Eloísa Helena A.;Maia, José Guilherme S.;
Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society , 2009, DOI: 10.1590/S0103-50532009000600005
Abstract: the essential oils of the sub-aquatic plant conobea scoparioides (fresh and dried previously) showed yields of 3.4 and 3.3%, respectively. the main identified constituents were thymol methyl ether (39.6 and 47.7%), thymol (40.0 and 26.4%), α-phellandrene (12.1 and 14.3%) and p-cymene (1.5 and 1.7%), totalizing more than 90% of the oils. the dpph radical scavenging activity (ec50) of the oils and extract was 46.7 ± 3.6 μg ml-1 in the fresh plant (cso-f), 56.1 ± 2.4 μg ml-1 in the dried plant (cso-d), and 23.0 ± 2.2 μg ml -1 in the methanol extract. the extract (cse-d)value is comparable to bht (19.8 ± 0.5 μg ml-1) used as antioxidant standard. the mean value of the oils is twice smaller but equally important as antioxidant agent. the mean amount of total phenolics (tp, 124.6 ± 8.7 mg gae per g) and the trolox equivalent (teac, 144.1 ± 4.9 mg te per g) of the methanol extract confirmed the significant antioxidant activity of c. scoparioides. similarly, in the brine shrimp bioassay (artemia salina) the mean value of the lethal concentration for the oils (lc50, 7.7 ± 0.3 μg ml-1) was ten times higher than the methanol extract (lc50, 77.6 ± 7.1 μg ml-1) showing important biological activity.

Rebelo, Monaliza M.;Silva, Joyce Kelly R. da;Andrade, Eloísa Helena A.;Maia, José Guilherme S.;
Revista Brasileira de Farmacognosia , 2009, DOI: 10.1590/S0102-695X2009000200009
Abstract: the essential oils of fresh and dried leaves and fine stems of hyptis crenata furnished the following yields: 1.4% and 0.9%. the main volatile constituents were ±-pinene (22.0%; 19.5%), 1,8-cineole (17.6%; 23.2%), 2-pinene (17.0%; 13.8%), camphor (4.7%; 11.6%), limonene (5.4%; 4.4%) and 3-terpinene (3.5%; 2.4%), totalizing more than 70% in the oils. the dpph radical scavenging activity (ec50, 16.7 + 0.4 μg/ml) of the methanol extract was comparable to bht (19.8 ± 0.5 μg/ml) showing a significant antioxidant activity. the oils showed low activities. the amount of total phenolics (tp, 373.0 + 15.9 mg gae/g) and trolox equivalent (teac, 226.8 + 0.5 mg te/g) confirmed the antioxidant activity of the methanol extract that can be attributed to the presence of polar phenolic compounds. in the brine shrimp bioassay the lethal concentrations (lc50) for the oil and methanol extract were 6.7 + 0.2 μg/ml and 13.0 + 3.7 μg/ml, respectively, providing important evidence of their biological activities.

Química Nova , 2009, DOI: 10.1590/S0100-40422009000300006
Abstract: the aromatic flora of the amazon has been inventoried for 30 years. in this sense, were made over 500 field trips to collect over 2500 plants and to obtain more than 2000 essential oils and aroma concentrates, all of them submitted to gc and gc-ms. this work led to the creation of a database for the aromatic plants of the amazon, which catalogs general information about 1250 specimens. the database has allowed the publication of the chemical composition of the oils and aromas of more than 350 species, associated with a larger number of chemical types. the essential oils of many species offer optimum conditions for economic exploitation and use in national and international market of fragrances, cosmetics, agricultural and household pesticides.
The analyst's desire in the clinic of anorexia
Silva, Mariana Benatto Pereira da;Pereira, Mario Eduardo Costa;Celeri, Eloísa Helena Valler;
Revista Latinoamericana de Psicopatologia Fundamental , 2010, DOI: 10.1590/S1415-47142010000200004
Abstract: the present work deals with the issue of the analyst's desire in the psychoanalytical treatment of anorexia. it analyzes important elements to establish transference in these cases, as the pursuit of death and the choice of refusing food as a way of controlling the demands of the other. it then discusses the "analist's desire" function in this clinic. rejecting the definition of a treatment model and the structural categorization of anorexia, we can find in the cases of the girl of angouleme (charcot) and sidonie (m. mannoni) present possible subjective ways to get out of this psychopathological impasse, by means of this function.
