“…Moreover, both O. nubigenus and S. rodrigueziana leaf oils showed notable in vitro cytotoxicity on MDA-MB 231 cells, which have led authors to conclude that antiproliferative effect presented by EO may be attributable to the relatively high concentrations of germacrene-D and transcaryophyllene in those oils (Richmond et al, 2009). A very interesting report has shown that α-humulene and transcaryophyllene, constituents of P. emarginatus EO, were found in other plants (Saroglou et al, 2006). However, Loizzo et al (2007) identified in their extract the presence of α-humulene, suggesting it to be one (but not the only) molecule responsible for its cytotoxic activity in rectal and prostate carcinoma.…”

Pterodon emarginatus Vogel, Fabaceae, is a native aromatic tree distributed by central region of Brazil. Hydroalcoholic infusions of the seeds are used in folk medicine for their anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory properties. The objective of this work was identified the chemical components and verify the cytotoxic effect of the essential oil (EO) from P. emarginatus seeds. Thus, the EO of P. emarginatus seeds was analyzed by GC/MS analysis followed by brine shrimp lethality test and cytotoxic activity against tumor cell lines and human peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMC). The cancer cell lines tested were C 6 (rat glioma), MeWo (human melanoma), CT 26 .WT (mouse colon carcinoma), MDA (human breast cancer), A 549 (human lung carcinoma), B 16 -F 1 (mouse melanoma), CHO-K1 (hamster ovary cell) and BHK-21 (hamster kidney fibroblast). Eleven compounds were identified by GC and CG/MS analyses. The main compounds with concentrations higher than 5% were β-elemene (15.3%), trans-caryophyllene (35.9%), α-humulene (6.8%), germacrene-D (9.8%), bicyclo germacrene (5.5%) and spathulenol (5.9%). The EO of P. emarginatus seeds showed toxicity to Artemia salina (LC50 1.63 μg/mL) and was active against all the cell lines tested. The potent cytotoxic activity had IC50 values ranging from 24.9 to 47 μg/mL. However, EO (1-100 µg/mL) had less cytotoxicity in PBMCs isolated from a healthy subject. In summary, the present study showed the potential antiproliferative of the EO of P. emarginatus seeds.

“…Estos incluyen los obtenidos de la especie de cedro japonés Anthemis werneri cultivada en Grecia con 15 % [34], la especie Curcuma soloensis de la familia Zingiberaceae de origen indonesio hasta con 32 % [18] y la cúrcuma de origen chino con 22 %, esta última denominada aceite de turmérico [35]. Se encuentra en concentraciones menores de 2 % en las especies de cedro japonés Cryptomeria japonica [36], cedro noruego Chamaecyparis lawsoniana [37] y Pinus brutia y Pinus nigra en Turquía [38] y en comestibles como la zanahoria [39] y las moras [40].…”

MSC: 92.E20 ResumenEn esta contribución se hace una revisión de los métodos para la síntesis del nopol. Los procesos convencionales abarcan la síntesis térmica y la catalíti-ca con ZnCl2 y los emergentes corresponden a los catalíticos heterogéneos. Se destaca el uso de catalizadores de Sn soportado en materiales mesoporosos producto de las investigaciones de la última década en el Grupo Catálisis Ambiental. La evaluación de las tecnologías existentes de producción de nopol muestra ventajas de la síntesis térmica y la catálisis heterogénea frente al uso de ZnCl2, especialmente por los costos potenciales en la separación y tratamiento de las sales inorgánicas. No obstante, cualquier intento de obtener una alternativa comercial de la tecnología reciente debería reducir los costos requeridos en la producción y regeneración del material catalítico y minimizar el requerimiento de solvente, con el fin que las condiciones moderadas de reacción de la catálisis heterogénea compense adecuadamente los requerimientos energéticos y de tiempo del proceso térmico.

“…cis-Chrysanthenyl acetate (17.5 -22.0%), b-pinene (8.6 -13.2%), and 1,8-cineole (7.2 -10.4%) were the major compounds in both oils. cis-Chrysanthenyl acetate was also reported as the most dominant constituent in the oils of A. hyalina [14] from section Hiorthia and A. chia from section Chia [15]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the chemical composition of the essential oil of A. austriaca.…”

The essential-oil composition of six Anthemis taxa from several populations in Serbia and Montenegro, Anthemis triumfetti (L.) DC., A. tinctoria L., A. austriaca Jacq., A. ruthenica Bieb., A. cotula L., and A. cretica ssp. carpatica (Willd.) Grierson were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The main constituents have been identified as follows: camphor (13.8-15.4%), alpha-pinene (5.2-9.3%), beta-pinene (4.9-7.8%), and (E)-caryophyllene (7.3-9.8%) in three populations, and cis-chrysanthenol (27.0%) and 1,8-cineole (8.4%) in one population of A. triumfetti; 1,8-cineole (9.0-25.8%) in the oils of five populations, and borneol (16.0%) and spatulenol (16.0%) in the oil of one population of A. tinctoria; cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (17.5-22.0%), beta-pinene (8.6-13.2%), and 1,8-cineole (7.2-10.4%) in the oils of A. austriaca; germacrene D (8.3-11.3%) and terpinen-4-ol (6.3-7.3%) in A. ruthenica oils; beta-cedrene (10.3-19.0%), (E)-beta-farnesene (7.8-13.5%), and germacrene D (5.2-9.1%) in the oils of A. cotula; cis-thujone (39.0%), trans-thujone (13.5%), and yomogi alcohol (7.1%) in the oil of A. cretica ssp. carpatica. The essential oil of A. austriaca was studied for the first time. A cluster analysis based on the relative percentages of all components of the essential oils was used to determine the distances between taxa and populations.
