“…Other compounds as methyl/ethyl galates and flavonoids with radical scavenging potential were also isolated from leaves extract (Ceruks et al, 2007). The essential oils from leaves, flowers and fruits of S. terebinthifolius from different regions have previously been analyzed and several variations in their compositions were detected (Ibrahim et al, 2004;Singh et al, 1998;Jamal & Agusta, 2001;Chowdhury & Tripathi, 2001;Malik et al, 1994). A recent work describes the seasonal variation in the composition of volatiles from fruits of S. terebinthifolius, which showed allelopathic activity in vitro (Barbosa et al, 2007).…”

“…Although the essential oils of various popularly used medicinal plants, such as Taxodium distichum L. (7), Schinus molle Linn (9), Schinus terebinthifolius (16), Origanum vulgare, Aloysia triphylla (12) and Cordia verbenacea DC (5), have been obtained and studied, this study had not yet been carried out on Lithraea molleoides (Vell.) Engler.…”

Lithraea molleoides (Vell.) (Anacardiaceae) is a tree found in Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. It is popularly used in the form of alcoholic extracts, decoctions and infusions for the treatment of cough, bronchitis, arthritis, diseases of the digestive system and as diuretic, tranquilizer, haemostatic and tonic agent. The objectives of this study were the extraction of the essential oil of the mature fruit, leaves and aerial parts of the plant and quantification of the yield thereof; the identification and quantification of the principal components of the essential oil and the determination of its antimicrobial activity against bacteria and yeast. The essential oil yield of the mature fruits was 1.0% but essential oil was not detected in leaves and flowery branches. The gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) analysis of the essential oil of the mature fruits detected the presence of limonene (89.89%), α-pinene (3.48%), β-pinene (2.63%), α-terpineol (1.27%), myrcene (0.64%), sabinene hydrate (0.54%), 4-terpineol (0.28%), camphene (0.22%) and Δ-3-carene (0.13%). The essential oil was active against just a few of the Gram-positive bacteria and yeast tested and did not present antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria.

O óleo essencial de Schinus terebinthifolius foi analisado por CG e CG-EM. α-Fencheno, limoneno, β-pineno, α-felandreno e β-isosilvestreno representam aproximadamente 80% da composição do óleo. A toxicidade na reprodução de ratos Wistar machos foi avaliada. Não foram observadas mudanças na massa dos órgãos reprodutivos, no número e morfologia dos espermatozoides, nas taxas de reprodução e na massa corporal dos ratos machos após tratamento com o óleo essencial de S. terebinthifolius.The essential oil of Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae) was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. α-Fenchene, limonene, β-pinene, α-phellandrene, and β-isosylvestrene represent about 80% of the oil composition. The reproductive toxicity of the essential oil in Wistar male rats was evaluated. No changes were observed in the mass of the reproductive organs, number and morphology of spermatozoa, reproductive rates, and the body mass of offspring of male rats after treatment with the essential oil of S. terebinthifolius.
