Resumo: An ethnopharmacological survey developed among quilombolas living in Sesmaria Mata-Cavalos, in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil; a cigarette known as tira-capeta (removing-the-devil), had been cited mainly to improve memory and cognition, and also showed other therapeutical indications, such as: against sinusitis, to avoid cold, to relieve sleep problems. The purpose of the present study was carried out a screening of essential oils delivered in the heating of plants used to produce the tira-capeta cigarette, using a simple, rapid and solvent-free method based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and headspace solid-phase microextraction. The principal essential oils found were 1,8 cineole, camphor and α-pinene. In the tentative to correlate these constituents with therapeutical indications reported by the quilombolas, were found some works carried out by many authors that corroborated the therapeutical indications reported by the quilombolas.

No presente estudo, foi feita a caracterização dos óleos essenciais liberados durante o aquecimento das plantas utilizadas na confecção do cigarro, usando um método simples, rápido e livre de solvente baseado em cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectrometria de massas usando headspace e microextração em fase sólida. Os principais constituintes encontrados foram 1,8-cineol, cânfora e α-pineno. Na tentativa de correlacionar a atividade biológica desses constituintes com as indicações terapêuticas relatadas pelos quilombolas, encontramos vários trabalhos realizados por diversos autores que mostraram que estes óleos possuem atividades similares às indicações terapêuticas relatadas pelos quilombolas.Federal University of São Paulo Department of PsychobiologyUNIFESP, Department of PsychobiologySciELOFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Associacao Fundo de Incentivo a Psicofarmacologia (AFIP)Sociedade Brasileira de FarmacognosiaUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Negri, Giuseppina [UNIFESP]Rodrigues, Eliana [UNIFESP]2015-06-14T13:41:47Z2015-06-14T13:41:47Z2010-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion310-316application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0102-695X2010000300004Revista Brasileira de Farmacognosia.
