The Satureja species (family Lamiaceae) are economically important plants; they have been used as medicinal plants, flavoring in food, and cosmetic material for centuries. The volatile oils of two Satureja species, S. khuzistanica and S. rechingeri, were obtained by hydrodistillation method with Clevenger-type apparatus. The chemical composition of oils was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The major constituent of S. khuzistanica oil was Carvacrol (68.7%) and those of S. rechingeri oil were Thymol (51.28%) and Carvacrol (22.08%). Anticholinesterase and anticancer activities were screened by Ellman’s method and MTT assay, respectively. Besides, the role of non-covalent interactions in cholinesterase enzyme (ChE) inhibition by the main ingredient, Carvacrol, was studied through docking calculations. The inhibitory activity of S. khuzistanica oil was higher than those of S. rechingeri oil with IC50: 377.14±2.36 and 251.37±1.88 µg/ml against acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase enzyme (BChE). S. rechingeri essential oil was found to possess relatively moderate cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 488.96±3.19 µg/ml and 767.22±3.19 µg/ml on A2780 and PC-3 cells, respectively. The role of hydrogen bonding and π…π stacking interactions in enzyme inhibition by a common ingredient, Carvacrol, was characterized.
Resumen. Las especies Satureja (familia Lamiaceae) son plantas económicamente relevantes; durante siglos se han utilizado como plantas medicinales, saborizantes en alimentos y material cosmético. Se obtuvieron los aceites volátiles de dos especies de Satureja, S. khuzistanica y S. rechingeri, empleando el método de hidrodestilación con un aparato tipo Clevenger. La composición química de los aceites se analizó mediante cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas (GC-MS). El componente principal del aceite de S. khuzistanica fue el carvacrol (68,7 %) y los del aceite de S. rechingeri fueron el timol (51,28 %) y el carvacrol (22,08 %). Se evaluó la actividad anticolinesterasa y anticancerígena emplenado el método de Ellman y el ensayo MTT, respectivamente. Además, se estudió el papel de las interacciones no covalentes en la inhibición de la enzima colinesterasa (ChE) por parte del ingrediente principal, Carvacrol, mediante cálculos de acoplamiento. La actividad inhibidora del aceite de S. khuzistanica fue superior a la del aceite de S. rechingeri con IC50: 377,14±2,36 y 251,37±1,88 µg/ml frente a la enzima acetilcolinesterasa (AChE) y la enzima butirilcolinesterasa (BChE). Se encontró que el aceite esencial de S. rechingeri posee una actividad citotóxica relativamente moderada con valores IC50 de 488,96±3,19 µg/ml y 767,22±3,19 µg/ml en células A2780 y PC-3, respectivamente. Se caracterizó el papel de los enlaces de hidrógeno y las interacciones de apilamiento π…π en la inhibición enzimática por el Carvacrol.
