“…We previously reported on the existence of two L. origanoides chemotypes that grow in proximity, in the wild, in the Chicamocha river canyon in Colombia 9. Since one more chemotype had been found in Venezuela 13 and Brazil 14, 15, the question about its existence in Colombia appeared. In this study, ten samples collected from L. origanoides plants growing in different Colombian regions were used to obtain essential oils and supercritical fluid (CO 2 ) extracts.…”

Chromatographic (GC/flame ionization detection, GC/MS) and statistical analyses were applied to the study of essential oils and extracts obtained from flowers, leaves, and stems of Lippia origanoides plants, growing wild in different Colombian regions. Retention indices, mass spectra, and standard substances were used in the identification of 139 substances detected in these essential oils and extracts. Principal component analysis allowed L. origanoides classification into three chemotypes, characterized according to their essential oil major components. Alpha- and beta-phellandrenes, p-cymene, and limonene distinguished chemotype A; carvacrol and thymol were the distinctive major components of chemotypes B and C, respectively. Pinocembrin (5,7-dihydroxyflavanone) was found in L. origanoides chemotype A supercritical fluid (CO(2)) extract at a concentration of 0.83+/-0.03 mg/g of dry plant material, which makes this plant an interesting source of an important bioactive flavanone with diverse potential applications in cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical products.

“…Oliveira et al [7] reported the composition of a L. origanoides essential oil corresponding to a different region (Oriximiná, Pará state, Brazil), in which carvacrol was also the main constituent (38%), followed by thymol (18%) and p-cymene (10%). Rojas et al [9] compared the compositions of L. origanoides oils from leaves collected during the rainy and dry seasons in Venezuela. Thymol (61.9 and 44.7%) and carvacrol (7.9 and 16.8%) were the main components of these oils, respectively.…”

Microwave-assisted hydrodistillation, simultaneous distillation-solvent extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction, were used to isolate secondary metabolites from two Lippia origanoides chemotypes growing wild in Colombia. Compound identification was based on chromatographic and spectroscopic criteria. The main components identified in the essential oil of one chemotype were carvacrol (44.4-51.8%) and p-cymene (8.8-10.1%). Those of the other chemotype were p-cymene (11.3-15.7%) and 1,8-cineole (6.8-10.9%). The last one constitutes a new chemotype, characterized by its low thymol and carvacrol contents and very low antioxidant activity. The radical scavenging activity of the essential oil of the first chemotype was higher than that of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and similar to that of α-tocopherol.

“…Dos Santos et al (2004), analyzing three collections of L. origanoides also observed carvacrol as the main compound (33.5 to 42.9 %). However, in a research comparing the chemical composition of the essential oils of L. origanoides, from the leaves collected in the dry and rainy seasons, thymol was found as the main compound (45 to 62 %) (Rojas et al, 2006). In a study of the chemical composition of the essential oil of L. origanoides in a natural population of plants thymol, was also the main compound (34 a 60 %) (Vicuña et al, 2010).…”

Lippia origanoides Kunth. is a medicinal shrub native to some countries in South America, Central America and the Caribbean. This study aims to investigate the chemical composition of the essential oil and the genetic diversity of a natural population of Lippia origanoides in two seasons. Leaf samples were collected from 30 individuals in the dry and rainy seasons. The essential oil was extracted into a Clevenger apparatus and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The relative quantification of thymol and carvacrol was performed by gas chromatography coupled to a flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the genetic divergence between plants. Carvacrol was the major compound found in most plants for both seasons. In the rainy season, plant 15 presented thymol as the major compound, and plants 16, 27, 28 and 29 presented camphor as the major compound. In the dry season, thymol remained the main compound of plant 15 and camphor remained the main compound of plants 16, 28 and 29; however, plant 27 presented carvacrol as the main compound in this season. After carvacrol, the compounds with the highest content were γ-terpinene, p-cymene and methyl-ether-thymol. Of the 30 plants studied, only five differed in their chemical composition, showing some degree of stability in relation to the dry and rainy seasons. There was no variation in the main compounds between the two seasons, but there was chemical diversity among the main compounds. Tocher grouping revealed five distinct groups, with group 1 including most of the plants in both dry and rainy seasons, indicating that the time of year evaluated did not significantly interfere with the essential oil composition of most plants.
