Abstract
Croton grewioides Baill. is an aromatic species with proven bioactive properties. Considering the potential of the species, the aim of this study was to chemically characterize and evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of the essential oils of C. grewioides on Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. The essential oils of the accessions of C. grewioides were extracted by the hydrodistillation method and analyzed by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. For determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the essential oils and of the compound eugenol, the microdilution method was used at concentrations that ranged from 125 to 4000 μg.mL-1. Streptomycin sulfate was used as a positive control (12.5 to 100 μg.mL-1). Growth kinetics and the membrane permeability trial were evaluated for the concentrations 2×, 1×, 1/2×, 1/4×, and 1/8× MIC of the essential oil CGR-108. The major compounds identified in the essential oils were eugenol, methyl eugenol, and methyl chavicol. The essential oil of the accession CGR-108 had a lower MIC (> 500 and < 1000 μg.mL-1) and MBC equal to <2000 μg.mL-1. For eugenol, MIC was obtained with contractions >250 and < 500 μg.mL-1 and MBC with >500 μg.mL-1 and < 1000 μg.mL-1. A loss of cell viability of the bacteria was observed after 30 min of exposure to the essential oil of the accession CGR-108 at the concentrations of 2× and 1× MIC, which was proven by the fluorescence intensity with propidium iodide. The essential oils of Croton grewioides Baill. and the compound eugenol show antibacterial potential on Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris.

Abstract
Based on chemotaxonomy, we decided to investigate the possible antidiarrheal activity in mice of a crude ethanolic extract obtained from aerial parts of Croton grewioides (CG-EtOH). We tested for any possible toxicity in rat erythrocytes and acute toxicity in mice. Antidiarrheal activity was assessed by determining the effect of CG-EtOH on defecation frequency, liquid stool, intestinal motility and intestinal fluid accumulation. CG-EtOH showed no in vitro cytotoxicity and was not orally lethal. In contrast, the extract given intraperitoneally (at 2000 mg/kg) was lethal, but only in females. CG-EtOH produced a significant and equipotent antidiarrheal activity, both in defecation frequency (ED50 = 106.0 ± 8.1 mg/kg) and liquid stools (ED50 = 105.0 ± 9.2 mg/kg). However, CG-EtOH (125 mg/kg) decreased intestinal motility by only 22.7% ± 4.4%. Moreover, extract markedly inhibited the castor oil-induced intestinal contents (ED50 = 34.6 ± 5.4 mg/kg). We thus conclude that CG-EtOH is not orally lethal and contains active principles with antidiarrheal activity, and this effect seems to involve mostly changes in intestinal secretion.
