Abstract

This study aimed to identify the chemical composition of essential oil from fruits (EOAF) and the hexanic crude extract from aerial parts (At-Hex) of atemoya (Annona cherimola x Annona squamosa), a hybrid belonging to the Annonaceae family. Cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity was also evaluated. OEAF was obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger apparatus, and their composition was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses. Cytotoxicity was tested against human tumor cell lines HCT-116 (colon carcinoma), SF-295 (glioblastoma), OVCAR-8 (ovarian carcinoma) and HL60 (leukemia) using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5- diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, while antimicrobial activity was conducted by bioauthography method against eleven microorganisms strains. Twenty-four compounds were identified in the EOAF and twenty-nine in At-Hex. The monoterpenes linalool (25.70%), α-pinene (10.38%), β-pinene (9.12%), transocimene (7.43%), and the sesquiterpene bicyclogermacrene (12.58%) were the major constituents of EOAF, whereas the sesquiterpene spathulenol (13.91%) was the main compound of At-Hex. At-Hex showed a high cytotoxicity against SF-295 (glioblastoma). These findings show an important chemotaxonomic contribution for the Annonaceae family, mainly for the Annona genus. Atemoya proved to be a promising source of substances with potential cytotoxic activity.
