Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the chemical profile and biotechnological larvicidal potential of the nanoemulsion of the essential oil of Salvia officinalis L. The leaves of the plant were collected in São Luís, MA, from January to May 2021. The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation at 100°C for 3h. Chemical characterization was obtained by GC-MS. The oil-in-water nanoemulsion was formulated by the low-energy phase inversion method and subjected to thermodynamic stability tests. Antioxidant activity is performed by the spectrophotometric method of scavenging hydroxyl radicals from salicylic acid. For larvicidal activity, Aedes aegypti larvae were subjected to EO solutions and nanoemulsions in concentrations (10-100 mg L-1), larval mortality was evaluated, and the LC50 was determined by the Probit method. The majority compounds of the EO were: eucalyptol with 65.14%, camphor (30.63%), and α-Terpineol (1.53%). The formulations were characterized as nanoemulsions with a droplet size <200 nm. The PDI was <0.200, indicating a narrow size distribution. The antioxidant activity exhibited EC50 of 136.29 mg L-1 and 51.59 mg L-1. The nanoemulsion with larvicidal potential showed an LC50 of 71.17 mg L-1. The nanoemulsion showed bioactive potential for larvicidal action, which may be related to the presence of its chemical compounds, and its use is encouraged in the fight against Aedes aegypti.
