Essential oil composition and variability in Hyptis fruticosa

Abstract: Abstract:The composition of six samples of essential oil (EO) extracted from leaves, flowers and seeds of several plants of Hyptis fruticosa Salzm. ex Benth., Lamiaceae, was investigated by GC/MS and GC/FID. 1,8-Cineole, spathulenol, α-pinene, β-pinene were the major constituents. Ten constituents that have not been previously described in the composition of the oil of H. fruticosa were identified. Hydrocarbons sesquiterpenes represented the main group, followed by hydrocarbons monoterpenes. The results were s… Show more

“…Despite the absence of studies on the genetic diversity of E. fruticosa, moderate difference between the chemical compounds was observed in a survey of some studies that analyzed the chemical composition of the essential oil of this species, collected specifically in the region of São Cristóvão-SE (Menezes et al, 2007, Silva et al, 2008, Franco et al, 2011a. Likewise, the results of the present study indicate that the plants collected in this region had reduced genetic variability and were predominantly grouped in cluster III.…”

“…The compounds bicyclogermacrene, β-caryophyllene, and 1,8-cineol were also identified as major compounds in several studies with E. fruticosa (Menezes et al 2007, Silva et al 2008, Franco et al 2011a, Franco et al 2011b, besides spathulenol (Silva et al 2008), α-pinene and camphor (Franco et al 2011a, Franco et al 2011b. Caryophyllene oxide had been classified as minor compound in all previous studies with oil of E. fruticosa leaves.…”

“…DC Silva et al Authors have reported the presence of the major compounds bicyclogermacrene, 1,8-cineole, and β-caryophyllene in the EO in studies on the antinociceptive activity (Menezes et al 2007) and on the larvicide activity (Silva et al 2008) of E. fruticosa. Conversely, studies on phenotypic characterization have identified α-pinene, β-pinene, camphor, and limonene as major compounds in the EO extracted from leaves, flowers, and seeds of E. fruticosa (Franco et al 2011a, Franco et al 2011b). However, in these studies, plants were collected in only two locations, and thus, they do not represent all the chemical diversity of the species in the state of Sergipe.…”

“…Plants in this genus have great economical and ethnopharmacological importance [5]. They have been used in folk medicine for the treatment of various disorders such as gastrointestinal disorders, skin infections, nasal congestion, fever, cramps, inflammation, and pain [58]. The genus Hyptis has many species that are important in Mexican folk medicine.…”
