Resumo
Bovine mastitis is an inflammatory/infectious process of the mammary gland, its etiology is complex and multivariate. The most common mastitis has bacterial origin. Because of the high cost to treat this disease, and the bacterial resistance to antibiotics, beyond the losses due to the milk discard or the presence of drug residues in milk, studies are necessary to find out alternative methods to circumvent these problematic. The medicinal plants with antimicrobial activity have been making room in veterinary medicine with the objective to reduce the impact and the use of drugs indiscriminately, as well as maintain the integrity of the animal and control the dissemination of resistant bacterial lineage. Therefore, the aim of this work was characterize the oleoresin Copaifera spp., verify the antimicrobial activity in vitro of oleoresin and essential oil of Copaifera spp. in combating against aerobic and facultative isolated bacteria from cows’ milk with subclinical grade III mastitis diagnostic and evaluate preliminarily, in vivo, phytotherapic formulation composed of Copaifera spp. The tests for characterization of the oleoresin, confirmed its authenticity and quality, considered appropriate for use. The analyzes performed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and electrospray ionization Fourier transformed íonic cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS) identified sesquiterpenes and diterpenes present in the essential oil and oleoresin of Copaifera spp., respectively. The technique of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for sesquiterpenes, especially for β-caryophyllene, can be used in quality control of essential oil and oleoresin of Copaifera spp., as well as in phytotherapic formulation using oleoresin of Copaifera spp. The oleoresin showed better antimicrobial activity than the essential oil of Copaifera spp. (ρ<0,0001) in combating the 55 isolated bacteria. The antibiogram test of the three phytotherapic formulations demonstrated that the oleoresin had antimicrobial activity against the isolated microorganisms. The preliminary evaluation, in vivo, of a phytotherapic formulation containing 20% oleoresin of copaiba was neither effective nor safe, because it intensified the inflammatory process, requiring further tests, such as cytotoxicity and irritability of the raw material plant and of the vehicle used.
