“…Extracts from X. aromatica have been described for antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal, antimicrobial, and antiparasitic activities. Many compounds in this genus have been identified, but the triterpenoids are present in higher concentrations (Stashenko et al, 2004;Costa et al, 2013).…”

The Brazilian savanna known as "Cerrado" is very rich in medicinal plants that are used by the local population for treatment of several illnesses. The herpesvirus is a serious problem worldwide, and affects both animal and human health. This work aimed to study the antiviral activity of eight extracts from plants natives of "Cerrado" region against human (HSV-1), equine (EqHV-1) and swine herpesviruses (SuHV-1). The results showed that all plant extracts: Banisteriopsis variabilis, Byrsonima intermedia, Campomanesia xanthocarpa, Erythroxilum deciduum, Lacistema hasslerianum, Ocotea pulchella, Stryphodendron adstringens and Xylopia aromatica presented antiviral activity against at least one herpesvirus. Furthermore, it was observed a direct anti-herpes effect of extracts from B. variabilis and B. intermedia in non-toxic concentrations against all herpesviruses. B. intermedia crude aqueous extract showed the most promising results with selective index values of the 41.76 ± 0.04; 4.12 ± 0.1 and 193.97 ± 0.09 respectively against HSV-1, EqHV-1 and SuHV-1. Due to this, B. intermedia extract was also analyzed by HPLC/MS allowing for the identification of gallic acid and quercetin as main compounds.

“…The major compounds identified in the essential oil of X. laevigata were limonene (56.2±1.4%), α-pinene (28.0±1.5%), and β-pinene (5.5±0.1%) ( Table 1). These compounds have been observed in the essential oil from the leaves of this species, but as minor components [1,3,5]. In the leaves, the major compounds are the sesquiterpenes, γ-muurolene, δ-cadinene, germacrene B, α-copaene, germacrene D, bicyclogermacrene, and (E)-caryophyllene [1,3,5], indicating a significant variation in the chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from the leaves and fruits.…”

According to Quintans et al [1], Costa et al [3], and Queiroz et al [5] the leaf essential oil of this species presents a chemical composition varying from 33 to 44 components more than were observed here.…”

“…Although popular uses of this plant are almost unknown, we found that a decoction of its leaves and flowers is used in the folk medicine of the Brazilian Northeast for several purposes, including painful disorders, heart disease, treating tumors, and inflammatory conditions [1]. Previous phytochemical investigations of this species reported the presence of terpenes [2], essential oils [1,3,4,5], and alkaloids [6], which presented larvicidal [2], antimicrobial [2], antioxidant [3], antitumor [1], tripanocidal [3,4], anti-inflammatory [5], and antinociceptive properties [5]. Herein, the chemical composition and cytotoxicity of the essential oil obtained from the fresh fruits of X. laevigata were investigated for the first time.…”

These variations in the composition of the major constituents, as well as the contents of all components, could be related to soil, climatic conditions, water stress, collection place, nutrition, and other abiotic factors.…”

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the fresh fruits of Xylopia laevigata was analyzed by gas chromatography using a flame ionization detector (GCFID) coupled to a mass spectrometer (GCMS). Monoterpenes predominated, forming 95.0% of the total essential oil. The major constituents identified were limonene (56.2%), -pinene (28.0%), and -pinene (5.5%). Cytotoxic activity against tumor cell lines and non-tumor cells was also investigated; however, neither the essential oil nor its major constituents evaluated presented any cytotoxic activity (IC 50 > 25.0 g mL-1).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity of the essential oils as well as the anatomy of the aerial parts from Baccharis aracatubaensis, Baccharis burchellii, and Baccharis organensis owing to the therapeutic potential of Baccharis. The volatile constituents were analyzed using GC/MS, the antioxidant activity was evaluated by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC FL ) and DPPH assays, and the antimicrobial activity by a microdilution technique. Of the 56 compounds identified, only seven (β-caryophyllene, γ-muurolene, bicyclogermacrene, β-germacrene, spathulenol, τ-muurolol, and α-cadinol) were common in the three specimens studied. Of these, γ-muurolene was found abundantly in B. aracatubaensis, while bicyclogermacrene was abundant in B. burchellii and B. organensis. The essential oils exhibited antioxidant activity in the ORAC FL (> 500.0 μmol TE g À 1 ) and DPPH assays. However, they did not exhibit any antimicrobial activity. Secretory ducts and flagelliform glandular trichomes were observed in the anatomical study of all the Baccharis species studied.
