In a recent study, was investigated the antifeedant properties of several Lamiaceae essential oils and some of their volatile constituents against onion thrips Thrips tabaci. This raised questions about possible other biological effects of these phytochemicals in the chemical ecology of the onion thrips. Aeolanthus suaveolens Mart. ex Spreng known as "Catinga de Mulata", is a widespread plant in the Northeastern region of Brazil (Brazilian Amazon), and belongs to the Lamiaceae family. It is commonly used in folk medicine because of its sedative and anticonvulsant effects. Earlier reports have demonstrated that this specie presents the monoterpene, linalool, which is the major component of its essential oil and possibly responsible for the plant anticonvulsant properties. In the present work, the chemical composition of the essential oils from leaves and flowers and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil from leaves were further investigated together with some of isolated compounds from essential oil of Aeolanthus suaveolens collected in Rio Grande do Sul. In addition, we report on the enantiomeric distribution of the chiral monoterpene constituent linalool in essential oils of A. suaveolens.
