“…On the other hand, α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene and myrcene were characteristic compounds in common for the three Philodendron species essential oils. Seasonal variations of these constituents were reported to P. acutatum (10).…”

“…Also, some common plant steroids, fatty acid ethyl esters and a polyprenoid (hexaprenol) were reported from the ethanol extract of Philodendron imbe leaves and roots (9). As far as we know, there are only three reports on the chemical composition of the essential oils of Philodendron species: Philodendron acutatum Schott., P. imbe Schott., and Philodendron scabrum K. Krause, all obtained from their roots (10)(11)(12).…”

In the Amazon region of Brazil, the roots of different species of Philodendron are used in the traditional medicine. Philodendron fragrantissimum (Hook.) G. Don, locally known as 'cipó-tracuá', has very aromatic roots and is used for baths and fumigation. Here, we describe the chemical composition of the essential oil from the roots of P. fragrantissimum obtained by hydrodistillation in a modified Clevenger-type apparatus for 4 hours. The oil was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Thirty-five substances were detected and the major components were β-caryophyllene (29.9%), limonene (15.8%), β-selinene (11.5%), α-selinene (15.7%), α-pinene (3.4%), α-copaene (3.2%), β-pinene (2.5%) and δ-cadinene (2.9%). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the chemical composition of the essential oil from P. fragrantissimum. The high content of β-caryophyllene was not observed in the other oils studied so far and might be considered a tool in taxonomy studies.

“…com o objetivo de realizar uma possível comparação entre a composição química do óleo essencial de plantas do gênero Philodendron, foi realizada uma ) busca na literatura e somente dois estudos foram encontrados. no primeiro foram estudadas seis amostras de óleos essenciais das raízes de P. acutatum, coletadas no norte do brasil (Viana et al 2002). Os constituintes majoritários foram a e b-pineno com um percentual em torno de 23,0%, as cetonas 2-undecanona e 2-tridecanona com um percentual variando entre 21,8 a 34,3% e o b-bisaboleno com concentração variando entre 0,8 e 49,5%.…”

“…uma rápida comparação revelou que no óleo essencial dos cipós de P. scabrum, os constituintes a e b-pineno, óxido de cariofileno, limoneno e b-bisaboleno, estão presentes em grande parte das amostras dos óleos estudados. Outra observação é a grande concentração de sesquiterpenos identificados no óleo essencial de P. scabrum (82,11%) e um pequeno percentual nos óleos essenciais de P. acutatum e P. imbé, abaixo de 5% (Viana et al 2002;bezerra et al 2002).…”

, respectively were analyzed in Gc-FId and Gc-Ms. The major constituents from stems of P. scarabum were caryophyllene oxide (22.42%), α-copaene (16.08%) and β-bisabolene (12.01%) and from fruits of V. guianensis were (9Z)-octadecenoic acid (24.95%) and docosahexenoic acid (24.17%). β-sitosterol and alkylresorcinol 1-hexadecanoyl-2,6-dihydroxybenzene were isolated from ethanolic extracts from stems of P. scabrum and from ethanolic extracts from fruits of V. guianensis, the athraquinones chrysophanol and physcion were isolated. The structure of isolated compounds we determinate wered based on data from 1 H and 13 c nMr, including two dimensional analyses and comparison with literature data.

“…have analysed steam‐distilled essential oils from roots of P. acutatum , P . fragrantissimum and P. bipinnatifidum , respectively . Although those studies gave first insights into the chemodiversity of the genus Philodendron , they did not explicitly address the question of inter‐ and intraspecific variations in essential oils composition.…”

Leaf and root essential oils of two closely related but ecologically distant Philodendron species were extracted in natural conditions in French Guiana and analysed by GC/MS to i) describe the blends of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by those species and ii) analyse species and environment-based variations in extracts composition. A total of 135 VOCs were detected with a majority of aliphatic sesquiterpenes. P. fragrantissimum produced mainly β-bisabolene (on average 29.12% of the extract) as well as α- and β-selinene (14.52% and 17.50%, respectively) while in P. melinonii, four aliphatic sesquiterpenes could alternatively be the main component: (E)-β-farnesene (up to 91.42% of the extract), germacrene-D (73.74%), β-caryophyllene (51.63%) and trans-α-bergamotene (41.26%). A significant effect of species and organs on extracts composition was observed while the environment (sun exposure) only affected the relative proportions of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes in roots of P. melinonii. These results are discussed in the light of the potential role of leaf and root terpenes in Philodendron species.
