Investigou-se a influência da sazonalidade na composição do óleo essencial de folhas frescas de Eugenia neonitida Sobral e Eugenia rotundifolia Casar. (Myrtaceae) coletadas trimestralmente, assim como a atividade antioxidante do óleo essencial de folhas secas e a histoquímica foliar. Os componentes majoritários do óleo essencial de E. neonitida foram biciclogermacreno, germacreno D e b-cariofileno e os de E. rotundifolia foram a-pineno, b-pineno e b-cariofileno. Os óleos essenciais de ambas as espécies apresentaram principalmente hidrocarbonetos e álcoois cíclicos, sendo o óleo essencial de E. neonitida composto principalmente por sesquiterpenos e o de E. rotundifolia por monoterpenos. A precipitação parece influenciar na composição dos óleos essenciais de ambas as espécies. O óleo essencial de folhas secas apresentou baixa atividade antioxidante. Os testes histoquímicos evidenciaram que as cavidades secretoras armazenam soluções complexas e contêm, além dos óleos essenciais, outras classes de lipídeos.The seasonality influence on the essential oil composition of trimestrially collected fresh leaves of Eugenia neonitida Sobral and Eugenia rotundifolia Casar. (Myrtaceae) was investigated, as well as the antioxidant activity of dried leaves essential oils, and the leaf histochemistry. Eugenia neonitida essential oil major compounds were bicyclogermacrene, germacrene D, and b-caryophyllene. Eugenia rotundifolia major compounds were a-pinene, b-pinene, and b-caryophyllene. The essential oils of both species were mainly composed by cyclic hydrocarbons and alcohols; sesquiterpenes in E. neonitida and monoterpenes in E. rotundifolia. Precipitation appears to influence both species essential oils composition. Essential oils from dried leaves exhibited weak antioxidant activities. Both species have presented secretory cavities filled with a complex solution of essential oils and other lipid classes, according to histochemical tests.

The experiments of carvedilol form II, form III, and hydrate by (13)C and (15)N cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CP MAS) are reported. The GIPAW (gauge-including projector-augmented wave) method from DFT (density functional theory) calculations was used to simulate (13)C and (15)N chemical shifts. A very good agreement was found for the comparison between the global results of experimental and calculated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts for carvedilol polymorphs. This work aims a comprehensive understanding of carvedilol crystalline forms employing solution and solid-state NMR as well as DFT calculations.
