“…were reported in the species of laurel (Leonurus sibiricus), fig (Ficus carica), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), not showing any germacrene D in the products [76,99,100], as well as V. megapotamica and V. capitata [25,67], which have δ-cadinene in larger amounts. Cadinene and muurolene skeletons may also result from an earlier rearrangement from farnesyl to the nerolidyl cation [40,[101][102][103][104].…”

“…Due to the high concentration of this SS, germacrene D synthase is possibly being expressed in V. rivularis and V. ferruginea. The gene (FcTPS1) encoding this synthase in Ficus carica L. catalyzed the predominant formation of germacrene D together with α-cubebene, EβC, γ-muurolene, α-muurolene, γ-cadinene, and δ-cadinene in smaller amounts [76], as can be seen in V. rivularis and V. ferruginea.…”

“…EβCs were already identified and characterized in several plant species and were extensively reported in the literature [72][73][74]76]. Generally, this enzyme produces EβC as the main product and its α-humulene isomer in smaller amounts.…”

“…Uji et al [96] was the first to identify a sesqui (TPS) (RlemTPS4) in plants, producing δ-elemene as a major product and β-elemene as a minor product. Recently, δ-elemene synthase (FcTPS5) from Ficus carica was identified, which also catalyzed the formation of δ and β-elemene as main products [76].…”

“…This can be observed in the species V. rivularis, V. ferruginea, V. rufecens, and V. simplicifolia [25,29,30,68]. However, investigations of δ-cadinene synthase, which catalyzes the formation of δ-cadinene as the main product, as well as a multitude of other sesquiterpenes were reported in the species of laurel (Leonurus sibiricus), fig (Ficus carica), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), not showing any germacrene D in the products [76,99,100], as well as V. megapotamica and V. capitata [25,67], which have δ-cadinene in larger amounts.…”

Taxonomic Insights and Its Type Cyclization Correlation of Volatile Sesquiterpenes in Vitex Species and Potential Source Insecticidal Compounds: A Review

Sesquiterpenes (SS) are secondary metabolites formed by the bonding of 3 isoprene (C5) units. They play an important role in the defense and signaling of plants to adapt to the environment, face stress, and communicate with the outside world, and their evolutionary history is closely related to their physiological functions. This review considers their presence and extensively summarizes the 156 sesquiterpenes identified in Vitex taxa, emphasizing those with higher concentrations and frequency among species and correlating with the insecticidal activities and defensive responses reported in the literature. In addition, we classify the SS based on their chemical structures and addresses cyclization in biosynthetic origin. Most relevant sesquiterpenes of the Vitex genus are derived from the germacredienyl cation mainly via bicyclogermacrene and germacrene C, giving rise to aromadrendanes, a skeleton with the highest number of representative compounds in this genus, and 6,9-guaiadiene, respectively, indicating the production of 1.10-cyclizing sesquiterpene synthases. These enzymes can play an important role in the chemosystematics of the genus from their corresponding routes and cyclizations, constituting a new approach to chemotaxonomy. In conclusion, this review is a compilation of detailed information on the profile of sesquiterpene in the Vitex genus and, thus, points to new unexplored horizons for future research.
