Resumo(s)
Clinopodium ascendens (Jordan) Sampaio [synonyms = Calamintha ascendens Jordan = C. officinalis
Moench ssp. ascendens (Jord.) Mateo = C. sylvatica Bromf. ssp. ascendens (Jord.) P.W. Ball] is a small herbaceous plant
with a very strong and distinctive mint aroma. The plant is known for its medical uses in folk medicine and as a spice
in Italian kitchens. In Madeira Island, Clinopodium ascendens, known locally as ‘neveda’, grows wild along the shady
paths of the Laurissilva forest. The local population uses the leaves of calamint as a mouth freshener and to alleviate
headache and toothache. The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of C. ascendens growing wild
in Madeira was analysed by a combination of CC, GC, GC–MS, 1
H- and 13C-NMR. The oil was dominated by C3 oxy genated p-menthane derivatives: cis-isopulegone (75.2%), pulegone (6.9%), neoiso-isopulegol (6.0%) and trans-isopulegone
(4.5%). The whole essential oil was tested against a variety of bacteria, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative, and two
fungi; it exhibited remarkable activity against Escherichia coli and was active against Agrobacterium tumefasciens and
Staphylococcus aureus and the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. It was ineffective against Streptococcus faecium,
Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans.
