Table 1. Collection and extraction of essential oils from Nectandra spp.
Table 2. Effect of essential oils from Nectandra spp. on Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and L. (L.) amazonensis intracellular amastigotes, cytotoxicity on mammalian cells, and selectivity index.

Figure 1. Effect of essential oils from Nectandra amazonum, N. gardneri, N. hihua and N. megapotamica on NO production by peritoneal macrophages infected with Leishmania amazonensis (a) and L. infantum (b) amastigotes. Bars represent the mean ± SD of six replicates. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 for the different concentrations versus untreated cells (control) (Student’s t test). The data are representative of three independent experiments.
