In vitro effects of Eucalyptus staigeriana nanoemulsion on Haemonchus contortus and toxicity in rodents.
Strategies for controlling gastrointestinal nematodes have been developed based on the use of numerous alternative methods, including the use of phytotherapy. New formulations of essential oils with anthelmintic activity have been proposed as a means to optimize their biological effects. Thus, the objective of this study was to formulate a nanoemulsion to optimize the nematicide effect of Eucalyptus staigeriana essential oil (EsEO). Initially, physico-chemical analyses were performed to verify the stability of the E. staigeriana nanoemulsion (EsNano).

Phytotherapy has been described as an alternative method for the control of gastrointestinal nematodes in small ruminants. Goal of the encapsulation of essential oils in biopolymer matrices is to optimize the biological effects of these oils. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo anthelmintic activity of encapsulated Eucalyptus staigeriana essential oil (EncEs) on the eggs and larvae of Haemonchus contortus. Therefore, the egg hatching test (EHT), larval development test (LDT) and worm load evaluation were performed to evaluate Meriones unguiculatus experimental
PubMed: 23748159Anthelmintic effect of Eucalyptus staigeriana essential oil against goat gastrointestinal nematodes.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of Eucalyptus staigeriana essential oil (EsEO). The in vitro effects of EsEO were determined through the egg hatching test and the inhibition of larval development of Haemonchus contortus. The oil was subjected to acute and subacute toxicity rodents. The in vivo effects were determined through fecal egg count reduction test in goats. 1.35 and 5.4 mgml(-1) EsEO inhibited 99.27 and 99.20% H.
PubMed: 20609526Anthelmintic activity of Eucalyptus staigeriana encapsulated oil on sheep gastrointestinal nematodes.
The anthelmintic activity of Eucalyptus staigeriana essential oil has previously been inferred through both in vitro and in vivo tests. Thus, the encapsulation process generally improves oil stability, promotes controlled release in target organs, reduces dosage, and increases efficacy. The aims of this study were to analyze and encapsulate E. staigeriana essential oil and to verify its anthelmintic activity in sheep. The encapsulation process was accomplished through emulsion using a 4% chitosan solution as the matrix.

Seguridad y Precauciones
El uso de los componentes del aceite esencial de Eucalyptus staigeriana debe abordarse con extrema precaución debido a su potente actividad biológica. En el caso de mujeres embarazadas y en periodo de lactancia, no existe evidencia científica suficiente que garantice la seguridad del uso de este aceite para el desarrollo fetal o la transferencia a través de la leche materna. Dado que los terpenos como el limoneno y el geranial pueden atravesar la barrera placentaria o ser excretados en la leche, se recomienda evitar su uso terapéutico para prevenir posibles efectos teratogénicos o alteraciones en el desarrollo del lactante. Para niños menores de 12 años, el riesgo es significativamente mayor. Los sistemas enzimáticos y metabólicos de los infantes son inmaduros, lo que dificulta la detoxificación de compuestos volátiles. La inhalación o absorción cutánea de concentraciones elevadas de eucaliptol o limoneno puede provocar irritación de las mucosas o incluso espasmos respiratorios en niños pequeños.
