Salvia rosmarinus Spenn

This study aimed to determine total phenols evaluate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and toxicity of Salvia rosmarinus (rosemary) nanoemulsions (O/W) and essential oils (EO). GC/MS quantified 18-cineole (30.22 %) a-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 from 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 AE and from 64.96 to 4220.25 mg L -1 . Finally the pharmacological activities tested showed efficient values for EC 50 so it is considered active. This activity is attributed to its chemical compounds present which encourages studies with this species with the objective of its potential application in a formulated bioproduct as presented in this study.
