“…(1979 , 1983) reported the presence of 19-noranticopalic acid, agatholic acid, sandaracopimaradienol, and methyl sandaracopimarate in Agathis lanceolata resin. In the resins of A. macrophylla from Fiji and A. microstachya from Australia, communic, sandaracopimaric, abietic and agathic acids were found ( Carman and Marty, 1970 Carman and Marty, 1970 ; Smith et al., 1981 ; Frezza et al., 2020 ). A study on raw and artificially aged Manila copal resin showed the presence of sandaracopimaric acid, patchoulane, and agathic acid diethyl ester in both resins ( Cartoni et al., 2004 ).…”

Almaciga ( Agathis philippinensis Warb.), a tropical conifer that is tapped for its resin commercially known as Manila copal, grows in many parts of the Philippines, but resin buyers prefer and pay a better price for resin from southern Palawan. The study was done to characterize almaciga resins obtained from commercial sites in Davao Oriental and Palawan (Brooke's Point and Marufinas) to explain the quality and price differences. Fresh and aged resin samples were subjected to wet chemical, thermal, and spectral analyses. Generally, the resin samples were found to be soluble in the more polar solvents although significant variations were observed for resins from various sites. Titrimetric determination revealed no significant variation in acid and saponification values, although the Brooke's Point resin had significantly lower unsaponifiable components. Predominant Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) absorption peaks for fresh resin include strong C=O stretch and weak = C–H stretch. Aged Palawan resins, which showed increased solubility in polar solvents, exhibited increased intensity of prominent FTIR peaks such as O–H stretch and C=O stretch. The weak peak at 1719 cm −1 seen in fresh Palawan resins was no longer observed in aged resins. DSC revealed the semi-crystalline nature of almaciga resin and melting temperatures similar to diterpenoid resin acids. This is attributed to the presence of increasing amounts of oxidized abietic acids as shown by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). For the Davao Oriental resins, significant amount of agatholic acid was shown, while resin acids of the abietane and pimarane type were conspicuously absent in the GC-MS spectrograms. The study found evidence that almaciga resins from Davao and Palawan differ in chemical composition and physical properties, which could explain the quality and price differences.

“…The other classes of natural compounds observed in the Haplophyllum genus were triterpenoids with β-sitosterol as the major compound [ 47 , 49 , 67 , 80 , 99 ] and lignans with diphyllin as the major compound [ 49 , 51 , 58 , 65 , 96 , 106 , 111 ] together with some phenolic acid derivatives. These classes have little chemotaxonomic relevance since they can be biosynthesized by many other plant genera and species such as those belonging to the Araucariaceae [ 4 ], Lamiaceae [ 122 ], and Orobanchaceae [ 123 ] families. Yet, the presence of ferulic acid from H. foliosum [ 69 ] should be underlined since it is the biogenetic precursor of coumarins.…”

“…Over the past few decades, a large number of scientific investigations have been carried out on a wide spectrum of herbal plants and these attempts have led to the isolation of a large number of valuable natural compounds in different plant species [ 1 , 2 ]. In reality, medicinal plants are used in different scientific disciplines, from food industries to the fragrance and cosmetics domain, to different medicinal and pharmaceutical approaches [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Herein, a comprehensive review is given focusing on the chemical profiles of the essential oils (EOs), non-volatile compounds, ethnobotany, and biological activities of different Haplophyllum (Rutaceae family) species. To gather the relevant data, all the scientific databases, including Scopus, ISI-WOS (Institute of Scientific Information-Web of Science), and PubMed and highly esteemed publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, Taylor and Francis, etc., were systematically retrieved and reviewed. A wide array of valuable groups of natural compounds, e.g., terpenoids, coumarins, alkaloids, lignans, flavonoids, and organic acids have been isolated and subsequently characterized in different organic extracts of a number of Haplophyllum species. In addition, some remarkable antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, cytotoxic, antileishmanial, and antialgal effects as well as promising remedial therapeutic properties have been well-documented for some species of the genus Haplophyllum.

“…Agathis plants generally grow in primary forests with sandy, rocky, or clay soil conditions that are not permanently inundated (Frezza et al 2020). While Escapa et al (2018) stated that the distribution of A. labillardieri Warb in Papua started from peat forest to the low mountain forest.…”

Agathis labillardieri Warb is one of the copal-producing tree species that only distributed in Papua. In connection with regional development, the existence of this species has been a significant concern. Therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of A. labillardieri Warb in their natural growing areas in the natural protected forest of Siwi Momiwaren. The data were collected by using the line plot method systematic sampling method with nesting plot. The data were then analyzed to determine the species relative density, frequency, dominance, important value index (IVI), and growth characteristics. The results showed that A. labillardieri Warb had the highest IVI at all levels of growth, with the highest diversity index at the seedling level of 3,49. When viewed from the relationship of the presence of species with the characteristics of the growing site, the content of Mg and Na significantly affected the presence of this species in the natural forest area of South Manokwari Siwi Momiwaren.Keywords: Agathis labillardieri Warb, growing site characteristics, Siwi Momiwaren, West Papua
