Abstract

The species Croton grewioides Baill is an aromatic shrub commonly known as “canela de cunhã,'' native to the Caatinga biome in Northeast Brazil. Its popular use is associated with gastroprotective activities, sedative, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, insecticidal, and natural repellent activities, typically administered as teas, infusions, and essential oil. Its essential oil contains numerous bioactive compounds, with anethole and estragole being the major components. In this study, 67 chemical compounds present in its essential oil were identified, belonging to the classes of monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and phenylpropanoids. Among the main activities attributed to its essential oil, the following stand out: antioxidant, antimicrobial, insecticidal, cytotoxic, antispasmodic, hepatoprotective, gastroprotective, sedative, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. Based on the data collected in this study, the essential oil of C. growioides shows potential for use in the treatment of diseases. However, further investigations into the toxicological characteristics of the species are necessary. Additionally, it is essential to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms of action of the essential oil and its constituents.

Croton grewioides Baill.精油的民族植物学、化学考虑因素和生物活性：概述

Croton grewioides Baill 是一种芳香灌木，俗称 "canela de cunhã"，原产于巴西东北部的卡廷加生物群落。它的普遍用途与胃肠保护活性、镇静、消炎、伤口愈合、杀虫和天然驱虫活性有关，通常以茶、输液和精油的形式使用。其精油含有多种生物活性化合物，主要成分是茴香硫醚和雌甾醇。在这项研究中，确定了其精油中的 67 种化学成分，分别属于单萜、倍半萜和苯丙类化合物。该植物精油的主要功效包括：抗氧化、抗菌、杀虫、细胞毒性、解痉、保肝、保胃、镇静、消炎和伤口愈合。根据本研究收集的数据，C. growioides 的精油具有治疗疾病的潜力。不过，有必要进一步研究该物种的毒理学特征。此外，加深对精油及其成分的作用机制的了解也很重要。
