“…Profile V comprised the Mten-5 oil and was characterized by E -caryophyllene (11.4%), muurola-4,10(14)-dien-1β-ol (9.4%), and caryophyllene oxide (9.3%), a sample collected in Maracanã, Pará state, Brazil [ 33 ]. Profile VI, from Mten-6 oil, was characterized by α-pinene (25.1%), β-pinene (20.9%), E -caryophyllene (10.0%), and platiphyllol (8.9%), sampled in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [ 34 ]. Profile VII, from Mten-7 oil, showed β-pinene (45.7%) as the primary constituents, a sample collected in Valinhos, São Paulo, Brazil [ 34 ].…”

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

et al. 2022

Myrciaria (Myrtaceae) species have been well investigated due to their chemical and biological relevance. The present work aimed to carry out the chemotaxonomic study of essential oils of the species M. dubia, M. floribunda, and M. tenella, sampled in the Brazilian Amazon and compare them with the volatile compositions from other Myrciaria species reported to Brazil and Colombia. The leaves of six Myrciaria specimens were collected (PA, Brazil) during the dry season, and their chemical compositions were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The main compounds identified in the essential oils were monoterpenes with pinane and menthane skeletons, followed by sesquiterpenes with caryophyllane and cadinane skeletons. Among the sampled Myrciaria specimens, five chemical profiles were reported for the first time: profile I (M. dubia, α-pinene, 54.0–67.2%); profile II (M. floribunda, terpinolene 23.1%, α-phellandrene 17.7%, and γ-terpinene 8.7%); profile III (M. floribunda, γ-cadinene 17.5%, and an unidentified oxygenated sesquiterpene 15.0%); profile IV (M. tenella, E-caryophyllene 43.2%, and α-humulene 5.3%); and profile V (M. tenella, E-caryophyllene 19.1%, and caryophyllene oxide 41.1%). The Myrciaria chemical profiles showed significant variability in extraction methods, collection sites, plant parts, and genetic aspects.

“…Twenty‐four of them are reported here for the first time in this species, including methyl esters from fatty acids (methyl palmitate, linoleate, linoleate, stearate and 18‐methylnonadecanoate), α ‐ and γ ‐tocopherols, and terpenes such as phytol, squalene, β ‐sitosterol, β‐ amyrin, lupeol and betulin. Due to extensive research on essential oil from M. tenella leaves, some sesquiterpenes have already been described for this species such as ( E )‐caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide (a major constituent of the essential oil of this species), α ‐copaene, α ‐humulene, β ‐selinene, α‐ gurjunene, aromadendrene, alloaromadendrene, viridiflorene, and guaiol [12–15] …”

Eugenia copacabanensis and Myrciaria tenella are present in restingas of the Atlantic Forest, but little information is available about their chemical and biological potential. In this context, the hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and butanol fractions from the leaves of methanolic extract were analyzed by GC/MS and HPLC‐DAD and the antioxidant potential was determined by DPPH and ABTS assays and using a Saccharomyces cerevisiae model. Dereplication allowed the identification of 68 compounds, 42 and 41 of which, respectively, are first reported here for E. copacabanensis and M. tenella. In vivo results revealed that the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions showed expressive antioxidant protection in the BY4741 and Δgsh1 strains, with greater impact on glutathione‐deficient cells. With a high diversity of phenolic compounds, these polar fractions of E. copacabanensis and M. tenella leaves are potential protectors against intracellular oxidative stress.

“…[12] The oil from the leaves of M. tenella has in its composition α-pinene, (E)-β-caryophyllene, spathulenol, caryophyllene oxide, [20] p-cymene, and α-terpineol. [43] The sesquiterpenes present in the essential oil of the peel of M. floribunda fruits are δ-cadinene, γ-cadinene, γ-murolene, α-murolene, α-selinene, β-selinene, 1,8cineole and E-caryophyllene. [32,37] While γ-himachaline and α-terpineol are observed in the oil of the leaves of this same species, in the stems it is observed α-humulene, and in the flowers, it was identified the (2E,6Z)-farnesol.…”

The Myrtaceae family is of angiosperms, imposing its size and economic, cultural, and scientific importance. The genus Myrciaria, belonging to this family, has 33 species currently accepted, many of which are research targets aimed at elucidating their bioactive compounds and biological activities. Most species of the Myrciaria genus have terpenes in their composition, mainly mono and sesquiterpenes, and phenolic compounds such as tannins, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. Other secondary metabolites are also observed, such as alkaloids, steroids, coumarins, saponins, and naphthoquinones. These bioactive compounds are closely related to these species′ most diverse biological activities: antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, analgesic, antiproliferative, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, insecticide, metabolic, protective, and nutraceutical. This work aims to provide a review of secondary metabolites and medicinal properties related to the genus Myrciaria, thus stimulating further studies on the species of this genus.
