“…A previous study on native populations of V. curassavica collected in Sergipe, Brazil, identified 53 compounds, of which 18 were also found in this study, except for α-thujene, myrcene, β-cubebene, γ-muurolene, (E)-nerolidol, and β-copaen-4 α-ol (Nizio et al, 2015). On the other hand, these compounds were obtained in V. curassavica genotypes cultivated in São Paulo, Brazil (Marques et al, 2019). These findings allow us to suggest that the diversity of compounds in the EO of V. curassavica may be influenced by geographic location compared to other studies (Santos et al, 2006;Nizio et al, 2015;Marques et al, 2019), as well as, the ability of the terpene synthase enzymes to convert the acyclic prenyl diphosphates and squalene into a multitude of cyclic and acyclic forms (Degenhardt et al, 2009).…”

This property is found in almost half of the known monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes and may be attributed to the fact that the various reactive carbocationic intermediates can be stabilized in more than one way (Degenhardt et al, 2009).…”

“…Previous studies have reported that the geographic location of plants along with the soil and climate conditions serve as modulators in EO production (Rahimmalek et al, 2017;Marques et al, 2019); thus, the same species may show differential EO production depending on the environment in which it is established. Similarly, that different genotypes can result in differential essential oil production, possibly due to the behavior of floral visitors that can induce gene flow among them (Hoeltgebaum et al, 2018).…”

Varronia curassavica Jacq. (Boraginaceae) is a native species of the Atlantic Forest with medical importance. This study determined the essential oil variation of 16 populations of V. curassavica of restinga in Santa Catarina, Brazil, in response to drying and edaphoclimatic conditions. The populations supplied essential oil with a content between 0.27 to 1.15% in the summer and from 0.33 to 1.12% in the winter. 41 chemical compounds were identified in the summer and 40 in the winter. The compounds were grouped into 4 chemical classes in each station studied. The common chemical constituents found in the essential oil of all populations and in both seasons were α-thujene, α-pinene, sabinene, α-humulene, (E)-cariophylene, spatulenol, mircene, allo-aromadendrene, β-sesquifelandreno and α-zingiberene. Cluster analysis using the nearest neighbor method based on Euclidean distance grouped the 16 populations into 3 groups in the summer and 8 groups in the winter. As the habitats have distinct pedological characteristics, we identified that pH, organic matter, sum of bases and base saturation are associated with the synthesis of (E)-caryophyllene, α-humulene, and allo-aromadendrene from populations.

“…α- and β-pinenes are extracted from different parts of pines, such as from the needles, nuts, pollen, and bark oils [ 20 , 108 ]. Pinenes have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities [ 109 , 110 ]. Both α- and β-pinenes have anticancer activity, and can inhibit the proliferation of human cancer cell lines, including breast, prostate, liver, and colon cancer cell lines [ 14 , 111 ].…”

The incidence of various types of cancer is increasing globally. To reduce the critical side effects of cancer chemotherapy, naturally derived compounds have been considered for cancer treatment. Gymnosperms are a group of plants found worldwide that have traditionally been used for therapeutic applications. Paclitaxel is a commercially available anticancer drug derived from gymnosperms. Other natural compounds with anticancer activities, such as pinostrobin and pinocembrin, are extracted from pine heartwood, and pycnogenol and enzogenol from pine bark. Gymnosperms have great potential for further study for the discovery of new anticancer compounds. This review aims to provide a rational understanding and the latest developments in potential anticancer compounds derived from gymnosperms.

“…Some interesting examples of drugs extracted from plants used in traditional knowledge are (i) alpha humulene from Varronia curassavica (Jacq. ), which has been used as a topical anti-inflammatory agent ( Marques et al, 2019 ); (ii) quinine, which was purified from Cinchona sp. and has antimalarial activity ( Boratyński et al, 2019 ); (iii) galegine from Galega officinalis L., which was used as a molecular prototype to synthesize the antidiabetic drug metformin ( Bailey, 2017 ); (iv) morphine and codeine, as hypnoanalgesics, both extracted from Papaver somniferum ( Stefano et al, 2017 ); (v) taxol, an antitumour agent extracted from Taxus brevifolia Nutt.…”

The Potential of Traditional Knowledge to Develop Effective Medicines for the Treatment of Leishmaniasis

et al. 2021

Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that affects people living in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. There are few therapeutic options for treating this infectious disease, and available drugs induce severe side effects in patients. Different communities have limited access to hospital facilities, as well as classical treatment of leishmaniasis; therefore, they use local natural products as alternative medicines to treat this infectious disease. The present work performed a bibliographic survey worldwide to record plants used by traditional communities to treat leishmaniasis, as well as the uses and peculiarities associated with each plant, which can guide future studies regarding the characterization of new drugs to treat leishmaniasis. A bibliographic survey performed in the PubMed and Scopus databases retrieved 294 articles related to traditional knowledge, medicinal plants and leishmaniasis; however, only 20 were selected based on the traditional use of plants to treat leishmaniasis. Considering such studies, 378 quotes referring to 292 plants (216 species and 76 genera) that have been used to treat leishmaniasis were recorded, which could be grouped into 89 different families. A broad discussion has been presented regarding the most frequent families, including Fabaceae (27 quotes), Araceae (23), Solanaceae and Asteraceae (22 each). Among the available data in the 378 quotes, it was observed that the parts of the plants most frequently used in local medicine were leaves (42.3% of recipes), applied topically (74.6%) and fresh poultices (17.2%). The contribution of Latin America to studies enrolling ethnopharmacological indications to treat leishmaniasis was evident. Of the 292 plants registered, 79 were tested against Leishmania sp. Future studies on leishmanicidal activity could be guided by the 292 plants presented in this study, mainly the five species Carica papaya L. (Caricaceae), Cedrela odorata L. (Meliaceae), Copaifera paupera (Herzog) Dwyer (Fabaceae), Musa × paradisiaca L. (Musaceae), and Nicotiana tabacum L. (Solanaceae), since they are the most frequently cited in articles and by traditional communities.
