Abstract

Constituintes químiCos voláteis das folhas e galhos deRecebido em 5/5/08; aceito em 22/8/08; publicado na web em 26/1/09 VOLATILE CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF THE LEAVES AND TWIGS FROM Zanthoxylum syncarpum Tull. The essential oils of the leaves and twigs from Zanthoxylum syncarpum Tull. were examined by GC/MS and GC-FID. Variation in the oil composition relative to the harvesting time was also described. The major components in the leaves oils were limonene (23.1-47.3%) and myrcene (4.8-10.8%). In the oils of twigs, the main components were ar-curcumene (12.8-18.1%), E-β-farnesene (9.1-9.7%) and β-caryophyllene (9.2-9.3%). This paper describes for the first time the composition of the essential oil of the twigs from Z. syncarpum.

Acaricidal Properties of the Essential Oil FromZanthoxylum caribaeumAgainstRhipicephalus microplus

“…Essential oil of species from Zanthoxylum evaluated by Tiwarya et al (2007), such as Z. armatum, showed larvicidal potential against three species of mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti (L.), Anopheles stephensi Liston, and Culex quinquefasciatus Say. According to Vieira et al (2009), the main chemical constituents in essential oils of the genus Zanthoxylum are limonene, ␣-pinene, caryophyllene, and germa- crene, all of which are monoterpenes or sesquiterpenes. The use of synthetic pesticides to control arthropods may have numerous drawbacks, such as off-target toxicity, slow degradation in the environment, and the evolution of resistant insect and acarine populations (Silva et al2011).…”

Leaf anatomy and histochemistry of secretory structures of Zanthoxylum caribaeum Lam. (Rutaceae)

“…Studies have been conducted to verify the chemical nature of the secretions produced by species of the genus, and most of these secretions are probably produced by cavities. These phytochemical studies describe germacrene D, β-caryopyllene, α-pinene, limonene, linalool, methyl eugenol, guaiene, nerolidol and farnesyl as a major component in a variety of secreted oils (Adesina 2005;Vieira et al 2009), in addition to alkaloids in Z. caudatum and Z. tetrasoermum (Nissaanka et al 2001), essential oils in Z. xanthoxyloides and terpenes in Z. rhoifolium (Ngassoum et al 2003).…”

Composição química e atividade antifúngica do óleo essencial de Zanthoxylum petiolare A. St. -Hil. & Tul (RUTACEAE) / Chemical composition and antifungal activity of the essential oil of Zanthoxylum petiolare A. St.-Hil. & Tul (RUTACEAE)

“…O procedimento foi realizado em câmara de fluxo laminar para evitar contaminações externas. Em microplacas para microtitulação estéreis com 96 poços foram adicionados com uma micropipeta 100μL do meio de cultura Os metabólitos detectados na espécie estudada corroboram com os resultados descritos na literatura para o gênero Zanthoxylum, conhecido por apresenta flavonoides, alcaloides, taninos, esteroides, saponinas e triterpenoides em sua composição (Vieira et al, 2009;Brito et al, 2015;Tu et al, 2018).…”

“…Muitas espécies do gênero Zanthoxylum L, são reconhecidas pela diversificada composição química de seus extratos e óleos essenciais (VIEIRA et al, 2009) extraídos de diferentes partes da planta (Patiño;Prieto;Cuca, 2012). Atividades biológicas antimicrobianas (Alam & Saqib 2017;Kim et al, 2018;Stappen et al, 2018;Pagliarulo et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2018;Tuyen et al, 2021), inibidoras de acetilcolinesterase (Fujiwaraj;Yagi;Miyazawa, 2010;Erika et al, 2019), antioxidante (Turnes et al, 2014; Brazilian Journal of Development, Curitiba, v.7, n.4, p. 38904-38916 apr 2021 Bodede et al, 2017;Dhami et al, 2019) e modulatória (Wu & Wu 2014;Zuo et al, 2016) já foram associadas a extratos e óleos de espécies deste gênero.…”
