“…Among these compounds, 4-dehydroviridifl orol, myliol and veticadinoxide are especially unusual sesquiterpenoids and were identifi ed by comparison of their mass spectra and retention indices with MassFinder 4 Library and published data. [14,15] It has been reported that 4dehydroviridifl orol and myliol are contained in the liverworts Mylia taylorii and Mylia nuda. [14] Veticadinoxide was fi rst identifi ed from the essential oil of the hornwort, Anthoceros caucasicus.…”

The components of the volatile oil from wild mushroom (Lactarius hatsudake), used in Japanese traditional food, were analysed and quantifi ed for the fi rst time by capillary GC and GC-MS. Seventy-six components were separated from the oil and of these 71 components were identifi ed. The main components of the oil were oxidized sesquiterpenes [cisisolongifolanone (624.9 μg/100 g), α-cedrene epoxide (578.7 μg/100 g), humulene epoxide III (453.9 μg/100 g), clovane (425.4 μg/100 g)], aliphatic acids [linoleic acid (585.9 μg/100 g) and palmitoleic acid (333.3 μg/100 g)]. Odour evaluation of the volatile oil from L. hatsudake was also carried out using GC-MS/olfactometry (GC-MS/O) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA), from which it was found that hexanal, 4-dehydroviridifl orol, myliol and phenylacetaldehyde seem to contribute to the green, spicy and sweet odour of L. hatsudake.

“…Nevertheless, the diterpene found (in low quantities) is known for Anthoceros caucasicus Steph. (Sonwa & Köning, 2003). It is important to grow Leiosporoceros in axenic cultures to determine if the secondary metabolites it produces are, at least in part, the result of its association with its Nostoc endosymbiont.…”

Summary:Cyathodium is a thalloid marchantialean liverwort with five species reported for the Neotropics. Three species that occur in Panama (C. bischlerianum, C. spruceanum, C. cavernarum) and one from Costa Rica (C. foetidissimum) were studied chemically. Female and male plants of the dioecious C. spruceanum were very similar in their chemical composition except for two compounds that were found only in female plants. All samples of C. spruceanum and C. bischlerianum contained, in less than three percent, the sesquiterpenes germacrene D and bicyclogermacrene. The presence of these compounds suggests a close affinity between these two species. Cyathodium bischlerianum contained mainly aromatic monoterpenes with nerolidol as the main compound. Cyathodium cavernarum also had a very distinct chemical composition with an octane derivative as its major compound. Indole compounds were found only in C. foetidissimum. The presence of these compounds in plants from Costa Rica and Tahiti suggests that they could be considered as potential chemosystematic markers for the species. Based on their chemical composition there is a clear distinction between the four species of Cyathodium studied. The chemistry of these species supports previous morphological and genetic studies. Only two compounds could be identified in Leiosporoceros dussii. There is a need for additional genetic and chemical studies on neotropical Cyathodium and Leiosporoceros.Key words: Costa Rica, diterpenes, hornwort, Neotropical liverworts, Panama, sesquiterpenes, skatole.Resumen: Identificación de compuestos volátiles de tres especies de Cyathodium (Marchantiophyta: Cyathodiaceae) y Leiosporoceros dussii (Anthocerotophyta: Leiosporocerotaceae) de Panama y C. foetidissimum de Costa Rica.

Cyathodium cavernarum también tuvo una composición química muy distintiva con un derivado del octano como su compuesto principal. Compuestos de indol fueron encontrados solo en C. foetidissimum. La presencia de estos compuestos en plantas de Costa Rica y Tahiti sugiere que puedan ser marcadores quimosistemáticos para esta especie.

“…Presence of structurally different xyloglucans is noted in the cell wall of hornworts which is similar to vascular plants and differs from liverworts and mosses [164] . A sesquiterpene ether, veticadinoxide from Anthoceros caucasicus was reported [165] . Phytochemical analyses were performed in some other hornwort members such as Anthoceros agrestis [166][167][168][169] , Anthoceros caucasicus [170] , Megaceros flagellaris [171] , etc.…”

A B S T R A C TObjective: Bryophytes, taxonomically placed between the algae and the pteridophytes, are divided into three classes such as Liverworts, Hornworts and Mosses. Indigenous use involves this small group of plants to treat various diseases. Bryophytes have been investigated pharmacologically for active biomolecules. Several constituents with therapeutic potential have been isolated, characterized and investigated for antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidative, antiinflamatory and anticancerous efficacy. Methods: The present review deals with the literature covering the anticancerous potential of bryophytes. Apart from the examples of the compounds and the containing bryophyte genera, the authors have tried to include the examples of cancer cell lines on which the efficacy have been tested and the mode of action of certain cytotoxic agents. Results: Crude extracts and isolated compounds from bryophytes were found to possess potent cytotoxic properties. Different types of terpenoids and bibenzyls have been reported among the most potent cytotoxic compounds. Most of these compounds were found to induce apoptosis by activating a number of genes and enzymes. Biochemical markers such as DNA fragmentation, nuclear condensation, proteolysis of poly (ADPribose) polymerase, activation of caspases, inhibition of antiapoptotic nuclear transcriptional factor-kappaB, activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase etc. have been found to be associated with apoptotic and necrotic response. Conclusions: This review summarizes recent scientific findings and suggests further investigations to evaluate the cytotoxic efficacy of bryophytes.

Chemical constituents of the essential oil of the hornwort Anthoceros caucasicus

Abstract: The essential oil of the hornwort Anthoceros caucasicus (Bryophytae), collected on the island of Madeira, was investigated by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and NMR techniques. A new sesquiterpene ether, veticadinoxide (1) was identified as the major constituent.
