“…Besides terpenoids, the oil from D. brasiliensis showed a small amount of phenylpropanoids (3.4%), specifically, eugenol, methyleugenol, safrole, and myristicin. The presence of phenylpropanes have also been previously characterized in the D. granadensis (Cicció 1997), D. winteri (Barrero et al 2000), as well as in its sister genus Tasmannia (Southwell and Brophy 1992).…”

“…The GC-MS analysis was performed in the same apparatus and chromatographic conditions as described above, using a quadrupole MS system (QP 5000) operating at 70 eV. Compound identification was based on a comparison of retention indices (determined relatively to the retention times of a series of n-alkanes) and mass spectra with those of authentic samples and/or with literature data (Barrero et al 2000;Adams 2001;Limberger et al 2007).…”

Chemical composition and larvicidal properties of the essential oils from Drimys brasiliensis Miers (Winteraceae) on the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus

et al. 2007

The essential oil obtained from leaves and stem barks of the Southern Brazilian native Drimys brasiliensis Miers, a tree with medicinal properties, was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC/mass spectrometry (MS). The oil was characterized by sesquiterpenoids (66%), cyclocolorenone being the most abundant (30.4%), followed by bicyclogermacrene (11.8%) and alpha-gurjunene (6.0%). Laboratory tests were carried out to determine the toxicity of the essential oil on larvae of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus by the larval immersion test. It was observed that the oil was lethal, killing 100% of the larvae of both ticks at the doses of 25, 12.5, and 6.25 microl/ml. The lowest dose tested, 3.125 microl/ml, was also toxic, killing 95-98% of the larvae.

“…Barrero et al (2000) obtained essential oil from wood of D. winteri. Capsicodendron dinisii (synonym of Cinnamodendron dinisii Scwacke) is indicated as analgesic (painkiller) to treat toothache, and also to control vomiting, paralysis, as a stimulant for the treatment of migraines and to help with diseases of the uterus and vagina (RODRIGUES; CARVALHO, 2008).…”

Different medicinal plant species can be sold under the same common name. Considering the importance of the correct identification, this study aims to separate, using wood anatomy, seven species popularly known as pau-para-tudo. The results show that Drimys brasiliensis is separated from the others by the presence of tracheids. Capsicodendron dinisii hhas scalariform perforation plates and oil cells associated with the axial parenchyma. Axial parenchyma paratracheal vasicentric and in marginal bands beyond the rays' width, can separate Osteophoeum platyspermum from Simaba cedron. Handroanthus serratifolius has the unique presence of the axial unilateral paratracheal parenchyma and storied cell elements (parenchyma, fibers and vessel elements). Rauvolfia sellowii and Leptolobium dasycarpum can be separated by the number of square/upright marginal ray cells, greater in Rauvolfia sellowii. Thus, this work shows that wood anatomy is a valuable tool for species separation, helps with the identification and consequently is important for the quality control of plant product.

“…is an arboreal species of the Winteraceae family, and its metabolites have demonstrated important biological activity against microorganisms and insects (Muñoz et al, 2001;Zapata et al, 2009). Its bark contains drimane-type sesquiterpenes (Rodríguez et al, 2005), as well as abundant essential oils (Barrero et al, 2000).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Drimys winteri J.R. Forst. & G. Forst. bark and its extracts, obtained sequentially with n-hexane, acetone, and methanol, against Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt). Ground bark of D. winteri was mixed with potato dextrose agar growth media at concentrations of 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 mg L -1 in Petri plates. Each extract was mixed at concentrations of 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg L -1 . Petri plates were inoculated in the center with a 5-mm mycelium disk and were incubated at 24 ± 1 ºC. Daily measurements of mycelium radial growth were taken to determine growth rate and growth inhibition (%). A ground bark concentration of 978 mg L -1 was needed to inhibit Ggt growth by 50%, while extracts obtained with n-hexane and acetone only required 198 and 234 mg L -1 , respectively. The methanol extract only inhibited Ggt growth by 33% when tested at the highest concentration. In conclusion, ground bark and crude extracts, obtained sequentially with n-hexane, acetone, and methanol, from D. winteri bark inhibit Ggt growth when applied in vitro. The n-hexane extract showed the highest inhibitory growth activity.
