Aims: Map the literature in search of the main biological and antimicrobial effects of the essential oil (EO) of Aniba rosaeodora. Study Design: This is an integrative review based on the PRISMA method. Place and Duration of Study: Center for Biological and Health Sciences of a University in the Brazilian Amazon, from January to August 2022. Methodology: A search was carried out in the main databases, such as Embase, Scopus, PubChem, PubMed, LILACS, SciELO and Portal BVS, with the descriptors consulted in the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). Results: 134 articles were found and, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 17 were selected for full analysis. The EO of Aniba roseadora revealed mainly antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral properties and in two studies, anesthetic effects, without observation of serious adverse events and deaths, were observed, but the specific active compound was not identified. The antibacterial activity of linalool, the compound most present in Aniba roseadora EO, was significant. Aniba roseadora EO also showed inhibitory and fungicidal potential. In addition, Aniba roseadora had an antidepressant effect, reducing anhedonia. Conclusion: The EO of Aniba rosaeadora showed potential biopharmacological and microbiological activities in pre-clinical models. Linalool stood out as the substance with the highest concentration in the EO; however, it is not yet known whether this compound is the main active component. Therefore, more studies should be conducted to support and describe the pharmacological potential of Aniba rosaeadora EO, leading to evidence-based pharmacology.
