GC/MS analysis and potential cytotoxic activity of Calyptranthes grandifolia (O. Berg), Calyptranthes tricona (D. Legrand) and Myrciaria plinioides (D. Legrand) essential oil in RAW264.7 and CHO-K1 cells

Chemical Composition and Variability of the Volatile Components of Myrciaria Species Growing in the Amazon Region

“…Two chemical profiles for Myrciaria plinioides D. Legrand essential oils (Mpli-1 and Mpli-2), rich in sesquiterpenes, were identified in the literature. Profile I (Mpli-1) was characterized by spathulenol (27.3%), α-copaene (9.5%), α-cadinol (8.6%), viridiflorol (8.5%), humulene epoxide II (7.2%), and cubenol (6.5%) [ 35 ]. In profile II, predominated spathulenol (21.1%), caryophyllene oxide (15.2%), isolongifolan-7-α-ol (9.8%), mustakone (5.6%), and α-cadinol (5.4%) [ 36 ].…”

Both leaf samples were collected in the Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and hydrodistilled to obtain their essential oils [ 35 , 36 ]. In the chemical variability of M. plinioides , it seems that a significant contribution of genetic factors and/or seasonality between the two samples can be inferred.…”

Adjunctive role of Calyptranthes tricona extract with probiotic Kluyveromyces marxianus on colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells

“…Plants of Myrtaceae family, including the genus Calyptranthes, are intensively studied and commercially exploited due to their innumerous biological properties and food components. Antiproliferative (Faleiro et al, 2017), neuromodulatory (Kich et al, 2016), antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory are some of their potentials (Borges et al, 2014;Figueiroa Ede et al, 2013). Moreover, we have previously demonstrated the antioxidant activity of C. tricona ethanol extract and the protective effect against H2O2-induced cell death in MCF-7 cells.…”

Essential Oils from Different Myrtaceae Species from Brazilian Atlantic Forest Biome – Chemical Dereplication and Evaluation of Antitrypanosomal Activity

“…Eugenia , Eucalyptus , Myrcia , Syzygium , and Psidium are the five main genera due to their economic importance for the food industry [2,4–6] . Studies concerning the essential oils from many Myrtaceae species have shown its enormous medicinal potential due to the several reported bioactivities, such as analgesic, antibacterial, antitumoral, anticonvulsant, antidiabetic, antifungal, anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, antimalarial, antiseptic, anti‐viral, expectorant in bronchitis, and insecticidal, besides antiparasitic activities such as antileishmanial and trypanocidal [1–3,7–11] …”
