“…These results demonstrate the predominance of cyclic sesquiterpenes, bearing chemical groups mainly derived via the cyclization of cadinene, guaiane, germacrane and caryophyllane. The greater amounts of sesquiterpenes found in the analyses corroborate previous reports on the oil composition of several species of Protium in different regions of Brazil [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and worldwide [21]. Table 2 displays the percentage of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes in the essential oils from the leaves of 13 Protium species collected in Panama and Brazil.…”

“…This sesquiterpene belongs to the caryophyllene cyclization pathway and has also been found in amounts greater than 5% in species of the Amazon biome. α-Humulene has previously been reported in P. unifoliolatum (9.9%) [17], P. lewellyni (9.4%), P. grandifolium (8.3%) [18] and P. elegans (12.6%) [19]. Other sesquiterpenes found in P. giganteum oil are derived from the cadinene cyclization pathway, for example, α-copaene (3.2±0.2%) and δ-cadinene (5.4±0.2%).…”

“…This sesquiterpene is either the main component or found in relative higher amounts in P heptaphyllum collected in the Cerrado (32.1%) [10], Amazon (11.1%) [11] and Caatinga (18.6%) [12] biomes. In addition, transcaryophyllene was also found in high concentration in the Amazonian species P. decandrum (22.8%) [13,14], P. spruceanum (36.4%) [13,[15][16], P. unifoliolatum (37.4%) [17], P. grandifolium (24.5%), P. hebetatum (12.8%) [18], and P. elegans (35.9%) [19].…”

The chemical composition of the essential oils from Protium giganteum and P. aracouchine was determined, for the first time, using GC-MS analysis. From the oil of P. giganteum, 32 components were identified, representing 93.9% of the oil, and from P. aracouchine, 29 components, representing 97.8% of the oil. Among the compounds identified in the P. giganteum oil, 93.6% were sesquiterpenes, with β-caryophyllene (26.0 ± 0.8%), globulol (9.3 ± 0.2%), α-cadinol (7.0 ± 0.5%), α-humulene (6.4 ± 0.1%) and germacrene D (6.2 ± 0.3%) as the major components. Among the 29 compounds identified in the P. aracouchine oil, 95.9% were sesquiterpenes as well, with spathulenol (31.8 ± 1.6%), α-cis-bergamotene (8.8 ± 0.2 %) and viridiflorol (9.7 ± 0.7%) as the major components.

“…has led to the identification of terpenoid compounds, among which mono-and sesquiterpenes predominate. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The resin oils of Burseraceae spp. are mainly monoterpenes in nature, nevertheless they were different from each other.…”

In a previous paper, we described the essential oils of Protium spruceanum obtained from different parts of the plant. In this paper, the essential oils obtained from the leaves, thin branches and resins were collected from October 1999 at 1 month intervals up to October 2000. At each sampling, the oil content was determined in a Clevenger-type apparatus, and examined by GC-MS. The major component from the leaf, resin and thin branch oils was sabinene (leaves, January 81.4%; thin branches, January 79.8%; resin, October 1999, 61.3%), followed by β-caryophyllene in the leaf oil. The maximum content of β-caryophyllene from the leaf oil was 36.4% in February. The highest oil yields were observed from leaves (0.4%) sampled in April and from resin sampled in October 1999 (4.0%). Thin branch oil yields were in the range ≤0.1-0.2%.

“…The Burseraceae family has extensive chemical mapping and demonstration of its pharmacological properties, proven by its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiparasitic and antifungal activities. However, there are few studies regarding the identification of compounds for the genus Trattinnickia (Table 1) [17,34,35]. Likewise, focused research and phytochemical mapping of the species Trattinnickia rhoifolia Willd are scarce, although it is widely used in Amazonian folk medicine for the treatment of several diseases, including The species Trattinnickia rhoifolia Willd is characterized by 32 m tall trees with 1.00 m DBH (diameter at 1.30 m from the ground), digitized base and cylindrical shaft.…”

Plant-derived products may represent promising strategies in the treatment of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). From this perspective, it is observed that the Amazon phytogeographic region contains the tribe Canarieae of the Burseraceae family, composed of trees and shrubs supplied with resin channels. Its uses in folk medicine are related to aromatic properties, which have numerous medicinal applications and are present in reports from traditional peoples, sometimes as the only therapeutic resource. Despite its economic and pharmacological importance in the region, and although the family is distributed in all tropical and subtropical regions of the world, most of the scientific information available is limited to Asian and African species. Therefore, the present work aimed to review the secondary metabolites with possible pharmacological potential of the species Trattinnickia rhoifolia Willd, popularly known as “Breu sucuruba”. To this end, an identification key was created for chemical compounds with greater occurrence in the literature of the genus Trattinnickia. The most evident therapeutic activities in the consulted studies were antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, anesthetic and antiparasitic. An expressive chemical and pharmacological relevance of the species was identified, although its potential is insufficiently explored, mainly in the face of the NTDs present in the Brazilian Amazon.
