RESUMEN
Neste trabalho é relatada a avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana dos extratos diclorometânico e etanólico, obtidos por maceração das partes aéreas de S. heterotrichius pelo método de microdiluição em caldo, frente a patógenos bacterianos e fúngicos. O extrato diclorometânico evidenciou boa atividade inibitória frente a Candida krusei (CIM de 0,25 mg/mL) e moderada atividade frente a Staphylococcus aureus (CIM de 2,5 mg/mL). O extrato etanólico mostrou-se inativo frente aos microrganismos testados. Também foi isolado o constituinte majoritário do extrato diclorometânico, cuja análise espectroscópica indicou tratar-se de um sesquiterpeno, identificado como germacreno D.
This work describes the evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of CH2Cl2 and EtOH extracts obtained by the maceration of the aerial parts of Senecio heterotrichius DC. against bacterial and fungal pathogens by broth microdilution method. The CH2Cl2 extract showed the best activity against Candida krusei (MIC 0.25 mg/mL) and a moderate activity against Staphyllococcus aureus (MIC 2.5 mg/mL). The EtOH extract was inactive against the tested microorganisms. Besides, one of the main constituents of CH2Cl2 extract was isolated, and its spectroscopic analysis indicated the presence of a sesquiterpene identified as germacrene D.
