“…Although there are qualitative and quantitative differences, the EOs of the four species presented in their composition the compounds 4‐heptanol (0.1–33.8 %), ethyl pentanoate (0.4–3.9 %), α ‐copaene (0.9–5.3 %), β ‐elemene (1.0–2.2 %), ( E )‐caryophyllene (0.6–14.4 %), β ‐selinene (0.4–19.3 %), α ‐selinene (1.3–2.5 %), δ ‐cadinene (1.0–4.8 %) and germacrene B (0.9–4.5 %). The presence of the sesquiterpene ( E )‐caryophyllene can be observed in a previously mentioned study of B. multiflora on the leaves of D. furfuracea , D. gardneriana and D. moricandiana and in the leaves of G. ferruginea and G. pogonopus , as well as in other genus of Annonaceae, e. g., in leaves, twigs and stems of Onychopetalum amazonicum , Annona squamosa and on the leaves of Xylopia frutescens . The presence of ( E )‐caryophyllene in the four species studied, and in other genera of the family, suggests that it could be considered a chemotaxonomic marker for the family Annonaceae.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition, and the trypanocidal and antibacterial activities of the essential oils from four species of Annonaceae: Bocageopsis multiflora (Mart.) R.E.Fr., Duguetia quitarensis Benth., Fusaea longifolia (Aubl.) Saff., and Guatteria punctata (Aubl.) R.A.Howard. The chemical composition of the essential oils from the aerial parts yielded 23, 20, 21 and 23 constituents, respectively, which were identified by GC/MS. The trypanocidal activity was evaluated against the amastigote and trypomastigote forms of T. cruzi. The antibacterial activity was evaluated by the microdilution method against enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyogenes, and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The results of trypanocidal activity showed that the essential oils of the four species were active at the tested concentrations, with G. punctata essential oil being the most active, with IC50=0.029 μg/mL, and selectivity index (SI)=32, being 34 times more active than the reference drug benznidazole. All EOs showed strong antibacterial activity (minimum inhibitory concentrations of 4.68–37.5 μg/mL) against strains of S. mutans.

“…The EO from the trunk bark exhibited activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis, E. coli, and Kocuria rhizophila, with an MIC value of 62.5 µg•mL −1 . The observed activity may be associated with the presence of the sesquiterpene allo-aromadendreno (21.2%) [69].…”

The present work involves a systematic review of the chemical composition and biological effects of essential oils from the Annonaceae species collected in Brazil from 2011 to 2021. Annonaceae is one of the most important botanical families in Brazil, as some species have economic value in the market as local and international fruit. In addition, the species have useful applications in several areas—for instance, as raw materials for use in cosmetics and perfumery and as medicinal plants. In folk medicine, species such as Annona glabra L. and Xylopia sericea A. St.-Hil. are used to treat diseases such as rheumatism and malaria. The species of Annonaceae are an important source of essential oils and are rich in compounds belonging to the classes of mono and sesquiterpenes; of these compounds, α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, (E)-caryophyllene, bicyclogermacrene, caryophyllene oxide, germacrene D, spathulenol, and β-elemene are the most abundant. The antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antileishmania, antioxidant, antiproliferative, cytotoxic, larvicidal, trypanocidal, and antimalarial activities of essential oils from the Annonaceae species in Brazil have been described in previous research, with the most studies on this topic being related to their antiproliferative or cytotoxic activities. In some studies, it was observed that the biological activity reported for these essential oils was superior to that of drugs available on the market, as is the case of the essential oil of the species Guatteria punctata (Aubl.) R. A. Howard., which showed a trypanocidal effect that was 34 times stronger than that of the reference drug benznidazol.

“…Eugenia uniflora oil, rich in apiole (11.1%) and oxygenated sesquiterpenes, was active towards two Gram-positive bacteria, Streptococcus equi and Staphylococcus epidermis [28]. The oil of the trunk bark of Onychopetalum amazonicum, rich in β-caryophyllene and spathulenol, exhibited good activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 12228), Escherichia coli (ATCC 10538) and Kocuria rhizophila (ATCC 9341), with MIC values of 62.5 μg.mL -1 [29]. In addition, β-caryophyllene exhibited strong antibacterial effect against E. coli (MTCC 732), with a MIC value of 9.0 ± 2.2 μM [30].…”

Essential oils (EO) from leaves and branches of Nectandra puberula Schott (Nees) and from leaves of N. cuspidata Nees & Mart. were obtained by hydrodistillation and their chemical compositions determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main compounds identified from N. puberula EO were apiole (22.2%), β-caryophyllene (15.1%), β-pinene (13.3%), germacrene D (8.3%), pogostol (6.6%) and bicyclogermacrene (6.4%) in the leaves; and apiole (28.1%), pogostol (19.8%) and guaiol (11.2%) in the branches. The EO of N. cuspidata leaves showed β-caryophyllene (26.9%), bicyclogermacrene (16.0%) and spathulenol (5.2%) as the main compounds. The EOs were subjected to antibacterial screening and displayed promising activity against Escherichia coli (MIC = 19.5 μg.mL-1). In addition, the EOs were tested for cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast tumor cells and the IC 50 values were 64.5 ± 1.6 and 117.1 ± 11.9 μg.mL-1 for the leaf EOs of N. puberula and N. cuspidata, respectively.
