Essential Oil Composition from Seedlings of Jatropha curcas L

Composition and Anti-inflammatory Activity of Essential Oil of Jatropha Curcas

“…These compounds were neophytadiene (35.8%), phytol (23.1%), trans-pinane (12.7%), 6,10,14-trimethyl-2pentadecanone (12.3%) and citronellyl propanoate (11.2%). The high content of phytol and trans-pinane was in agreement with a previous report on the leaf oil constituents of J. curcas [19]. In addition, neophytadiene and other constituents of the present study were not described previously in J. curcas oil.…”

“…The constituents of J. curcas include curcin, with hemagglutinating activity [12], phorbol esters [13], lathyranlactone, jatrocurcasenones A-E and jatrophodiones B-E with cytotoxic activity [14], curcusones A-E, jatrogrossidione and 2-epi-jatrogrossidione, reported for their cytotoxity [15], isoamericanol A, which has an inhibitory effect on cell proliferation of MCF-7 [16], curcacycline A, which displays a moderate inhibition of proliferation of human T-cells [17], and curcacycline B, known to enhance the rotamase activity of human cyclophilin B [18]. Phytol (47.42%) in the leaf, 1butoxyperethyl-homotetrasilsesquioxane (36.11%) in the petiole, 7benzyl-8-(methylthio)theophyllin (12.53%) in the stem, as well as -gurjunene (13.99 %), β-elemol (13.45%) and guaiene (13.13%) in the root, were major components present in the essential oil [19].…”

Pilot-scale bioconversion of rice and sunflower agro-residues into medicinal mushrooms and laccase enzymes through solid-state fermentation with Ganoderma lucidum

“…El compuesto M51 (1-iodotetracosano) tampoco ha sido reportado en literatura como componente de productos naturales, pero si otros organoyoduros como 1-yodononano, 1-yodo-octadecano, 1-yodo-2-metil-undecano ó 1-yodo-2-metilundecano, en extractos obtenidos con hexano o aceites esenciales de plantas como Jatropha curcas L., Scutellaria sp., Azadirachta Indica y otras que demostraron efectos antifúngicos (433)(434)(435)(436), aunque no hay reportes de inhibición de las actividades mencionadas. Hasta la fecha de redacción de este documento, no fue posible establecer con las bases de datos vigentes y las referencias si se había elucidado una ruta biosintética en hongos que pudiese dar origen a este tipo de compuestos.…”
