Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition and Antioxidant Activity of Essential Oils from Schinus areira L. and Schinus longifolia (Lindl.) Speg.

The essential oils of Schinus areira L. and S. longifolia (Lindl.) Speg. (Anacardiaceae) have been studied for their in vitro anti-acetylcholinesterase and antioxidant activities. The chemical composition of the oils obtained by hydrodistillation was determined by GC-MS. Fruit and leaf oils of S. areira were analyzed separately. The essential oil from S. longifolia elicited marked enzymatic inhibition (IC50 = 20.0 ± 1.0 μg/mL) and showed radical scavenger activity (IC50 = 25.2 ± 2.4 μg/mL). The essential oil from S. areira leaves was more active than that of the fruits in both bioassays.
