“…Phytochemical surveys indicate that P. pseudocaryophyllus leaves are rich in tannins, flavonoids, and essential oils (Paula et al, , ), with over 60 identified compounds, including chavibetol (Marques et al, ); (5,5) ‐α‐farnesene (Santos et al, ); eugenol (Craveiro et al, ; Lima et al, ); citral (geranial/neral) (Nakaoka‐Sakita et al, ); ( E )‐asarone, elemicin, ( E )‐caryophyllene, and ( E )‐methyl‐isoeugenol (Paula et al, ); catechin and quercitrin (El Assal et al, ); oleanolic acid, gallic acid, ellagic acid, and lupeol (Paula et al, ); and rutin and tannic acid (Campanini et al, ). In addition, Paula et al () found that P. pseudocaryophyllus has infraspecific variability due to genetically determined changes in biosynthetic routes of essential oils, creating chemically polymorphs specimens such as citral, ( E )‐caryophyllene, and ( E )‐methyl‐isoeugenol chemotypes.…”
