“…The results found for the essential oil of P. heptaphyllum (Table 3) are consistent with work previously described, where the components α-pinene, terpinolene, p-cymen-8-ol and α-cymene were also reported as major components of the P. heptaphyllum oil (Marques et al, 2010;Siane et al, 1999). However, some differences were observed in relative percentages and may be related to genetic factors, the nutritional status of the plant and the soil and climatic conditions (Figueiredo et al, 2012); medicinal plants that are derived from the same species may exhibit significant differences in quality when collected at different sites (Asghari et al, 2012).…”

Protium heptaphyllum (PH) is rich in essential oil, has anti-inflammatory properties and has no toxic potential. However, data is unavailable about its antiseptic effect against bacteria that cause caries. This study aimed to evaluate the antiseptic effect of the toothbrush rinse of essential oil of PH as well as its chemical stability. The toothbrush rinse was prepared with 1% essential oil of PH. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the essential oil and toothbrush rinse were evaluated against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175™). The ex vivo study was double-blinded and randomised; the children were divided into three groups, each participating in a crossover design where all solutions (water, toothbrush rinse (1%) and chlorhexidine (0.12%) were used in all stages by different groups of children. The chemical composition of the essential oil and toothbrush rinse were analysed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The stability was evaluated at three time points. The essential oil and toothbrush rinse exhibited antimicrobial activity against S. mutans, MIC = 0.125 and 2.4 µg/ml. The toothbrush rinse showed the same effect as chlorhexidine on disinfecting the toothbrushes contaminated with mutans streptococci (pH = 57.3 ± 5.3%; chlorhexidine 55.5 ± 13.3%; water 39.4 ± 5.8%; p > 0.05). Chromatographic analysis showed that the essential oil contained monoterpenes as a major component, and the toothbrush rinse possessed the same constituents as the pure essential oil, except for α-terpineol. Storage did not cause chemical degradation of the toothbrush rinse, but decreased the concentration of the chemical constituents. The toothbrush rinse of essential oil of P. heptaphyllum showed antiseptic properties and exhibited antimicrobial activity against mutans streptococci.

“…Protium, Inga and Tetragastris are known from 150, 400 and nine described species, respectively (Marques et al 2010, Mata & Felix 2007, Daly 1989, suggesting that the richness of insect galls does not depend upon the plant genus richness (a evidence against richness plant hypothesis, Lawton & Schröder (1977)). Different results were found in restinga, cerrado and other Amazonian Forest areas, where the highest diversity of galls is showed by the most speciose plant genera (Table 6).…”

“…Leaves were the most galled plant organ in Platô Bacaba. The high diversity of leaf galls is observed in all Neotropical biomas (Table 3), as well as in the world (Mani 1964), probably because leaves represent an abundant and frequently renewable resource, with undifferentiated meristematic cells which are essential to gall growth. The predominance of glabrous and one-chambered galls in Platô Bacaba is also observed in all other studied localities (Table 4), indicating a general pattern.…”

Seventy six morphotypes of insect galls were found on 38 plant species and one subspecies distributed among 27 genera and 22 families in Platô Bacaba (Porto de Trombetas, Pará, Brazil). The majority of these galls (about 80%) occurred on leaves and 20% on stems. Burseraceae was the plant family with the greatest number of gall morphotypes (N = 23), followed by Fabaceae (N = 11) and Melastomataceae (N = 6). Protium Burm. f. (N = 17), Inga Miller (N = 8), and Tetragastris Gaertn (N = 6) were the plant genera, and Protium sagotianum Marchand (N = 7), Tetragastris panamensis (N = 6), and Miconia stenostachya DC. (N = 5) were the plant species that supported the highest diversity of galls. The galling inducers belong to Diptera (Cecidomyiidae) and Lepidoptera orders. Galls of Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera and Thysanoptera were not found. This study adds evidences that Diptera (Cecidomyiidae) are the most frequent galling insects in different zoogeographical regions. Keywords: Amazonian Forest, Cecidomyiidae, Diptera, diversity, insect galls, gallers.

“…Previous studies performed with the same resin, but acquired from other sources showed that the chemical composition of the oil undergoes significant changes. Citó et al (2003) found as major compounds β-terpinilacetate (23.2%), limonene (18.2%) and β-ocimene (11.2%), in resin from Teresina (Piaui , Brazil), while the oil obtained by Marques et al (2010) in Cruzeiro do Sul, State of Acre (Brazil) showed p-cymene (39.93% ), n-tetradecane (13.38%) and dihydro-4-carene (11.69%). The (Table 2) shows the major components identified in the essential oil of P. heptaphyllum collected in different regions.…”

“…The chemical constituents of essential oil of this resin analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) are mainly monoterpenes (Bandeira et al 2001, Citó et al 2003, but, phenylpropanoids were also identified in the product (Siani et al 1999a). In the essential oil of P.heptaphyllum was detected p-cymene (39.93 %) and α-tetradecane (13:38 %) as the main constituents (Marques et al 2010).…”

Protium heptaphyllum is found in the Amazon region, and in various Brazilian states and South American countries. Also Known as almecega, it produces an oil resin used in traditional medicine as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, cicatrizant and expectorant, it is rich in pentacyclic triterpenes and essential oil. The main objective of this study was to analyze the chemical composition of P. heptaphyllumresin (OEPh) over different extraction times and to evaluate their antifungal activity against Candida species, obtained from gardeners with onychomycosis, using the disk diffusion method. The OEPh was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by Multidimensional Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (MDGC / MS). Candida species were obtained from lesions on the nails of horticulturist from a community garden in the city of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. The antifungal activity in concentrations of 1000 µg/L, 500 µg/L and 250 µg/L, PROTOCOL M44-A2 (CLSI 2009) OEPh was tested. The main constituents identified were: l-limonene, α-terpineol, p-cineol, o-cymene and α-phellandrene, however, its composition varies significantly with extraction time. All species, except C. rugosa, were inhibited with halo (≥ 14 mm) at 1000 μg / L. C. krusei is naturally resistant to the drug fluconazole, but when tested with OEPh the clinical species (case 9) demonstrated sensitivity in three dilutions (halo ≤ 10 ≥ 14) and the standard strain was inhibited at concentration of 1000 μg/Lg / L (halo 14mm). A similar situation also occurred with the standard strain of C. parapsilosis (halo ≥ 11mm). OEPh has considerable antifungal activity, which merits further investigation for alternative clinical applications, since this species is widely distributed in our community, and it presents good yields, and also has important therapeutic applications.
