“…Mubarak and his colleagues found that 1,8-cineole (61.5%) and α-pinene (21.5%) were the major compounds of C. viminalis [ 47 ]. The study from Brazil [ 48 ] revealed that the major components of the C. viminalis EO were 1,8-cineole (62.0%), α-pinene (21.7%), and α-terpineol (3.2%). Here, we reported that the S. terebinthifolia EO comprised 15.5% α-pinene, 14% limonene, 12.4% α-phellandrene, 11.5% p -cymene, and 8.4% spathulenol, while in a previous study from Brazil, 3-carene (55%), α-pinene (15%), sylvestrene (10.6%), and germacrene D (2.5%) were the major compounds in the EO of S. terebinthifolia fruits [ 49 ].…”

In this study, the chemical composition, repellent, and oviposition deterrent effects of five plant essential oils (EOs) extracted from Lantana camara (Verbenaceae), Schinus terebinthifolia (Anacardiaceae), Callistemon viminalis (Myrtaceae), Helichrysum odoratissimum (Asteraceae), and Hyptis suaveolens (Lamiaceae) were evaluated against Aedes aegypti, Anopheles gambiae, and Culex quinquefasciatus. When tested at 33.3 µg/cm2, L. camara, S. terebinthifolia, C. viminalis, and H. odoratissimum were effective repellents against Ae. aegypti (89%, 91%, 90%, and 51% repellency, respectively), but they were less repellent against An. gambiae (66%, 86%, 59%, and 49% repellency, respectively). Interestingly, L. camara, S. terebinthifolia, C. viminalis, and H. odoratissimum exhibited 100% repellency against Cx. quinquefasciatus at 33.3 μg/cm2. In time-span bioassays performed at 333 μg/cm2, the EO of L. camara exhibited 100% repellence against Ae. aegypti and An. gambiae for up to 15 min and against Cx. quinquefasciatus for 75 min. The oviposition bioassays revealed that L. camara exhibited the highest activity, showing 85%, 59%, and 89% oviposition deterrence against Ae. aegypti, An. gambiae, and Cx. quinquefasciatus, respectively. The major compounds of L. camara, S. terebinthifolia, and C. viminalis were trans-β-caryophyllene (16.7%), α-pinene (15.5%), and 1,8-cineole (38.1%), respectively. In conclusion, the L. camara and S. terebinthifolia EOs have the potential to be natural mosquito repellents.

“…Sesquiterpenes are classes of compounds found in nature, which are present in both aromatic plants and marine life [ 41 ]. In this research, these organic compounds were found to be predominant in the essential oils of various species such as Myrcia eximia (Specimen B) [ 5 ], M. hatschbachii [ 42 ], M. loranthifolia [ 43 ], M. multiflora (Specimen A, B and C) [ 4 ], M. oblongata [ 44 ], M. sylvatica [ 10 , 45 ], M. rostrata [ 46 ], M. splendens [ 47 , 48 ], M. vitoriana [ 49 ], and finally, the samples of M. tomentosa [ 3 , 50 ].…”

The present study provides a comprehensive analysis of the chemical composition of essential oils from species of the Myrcia genus and their applications. The compiled results highlight the chemical diversity and biological activities of these oils, emphasizing their potential importance for various therapeutic and industrial applications. The findings reveal that Myrcia essential oils present a variety of bioactive compounds, such as monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, which demonstrate antimicrobial activities against a range of microorganisms, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as yeasts. Furthermore, this study highlights the phytotoxic activity of these oils, indicating their potential for weed control. The results also point to the insecticidal potential of Myrcia essential oils against a range of pests, showing their viability as an alternative to synthetic pesticides. Additionally, species of the genus Myrcia have demonstrated promising hypoglycemic effects, suggesting their potential in diabetes treatment. This comprehensive synthesis represents a significant advancement in understanding Myrcia essential oils, highlighting their chemical diversity and wide range of biological activities. However, the need for further research is emphasized to fully explore the therapeutic and industrial potential of these oils, including the identification of new compounds, understanding of their mechanisms of action, and evaluation of safety and efficacy in different contexts.
