Analysis of the leaf and stem essential oils from three Brazilian Lauraceae species showed that the major constituent of O. odorifera was safrole (57.1 and 88.5% for leaves and stems, respectively) while for O. indecora leaves the major ones were the α-pinene (12.8%) and β-pinene (12.4%) and β-bisabolol (12.2%) in the stems. For the third species, Persea venosa, the main components of leaf and stem oils were spathulenol (27.8 and 14.7%, respectively) and humulene epoxide II (11.3 and 5.1%, respectively). The bioactivity results indicated that the leaf essential oil from O. indecora was the most active for both radical scavenging activity (IC50=0.142 mg/mL) and cytotoxicity against human tumor cells, with growth inhibitions for the colon tumoral line HCT-116 (100%) and breast cancer cell line MCF-7 (99.2%), at 5 μg/mL concentration. This activity might be related to the presence of α-pinene and β-pinene in the leaf essential oil of O. indecora. However, further studies with the isolated compounds are necessary to fully understand these bioactivites.
