“…S. guianensis Aubl., Siparunaceae, is a small tree found in various parts of Brazilian forests, popularly known as "capituí", "negramena", "erva-santa", "limão-bravo" and others (Zoghbi et al, 1998). Several species of this genus are used in traditional medicine to handling stomach disorders and skin diseases (Leitão et al, 1999). Literature reports the use of S. guianensis leaves in popular medicine to cure various diseases, including, sinusitis, fever, rheumatism, migraine, body aches and as anti-infl ammatory (Valentini et al, 2010;Rodrigues, 2006).…”

Chemical study of three medicinal plants: from leaves of Piper renitens (Miq.) Yunck, Piperaceae, and Siparuna guianensis Aubl., Siparunaceae, and from flowers of Alternanthera brasiliana (L.) Kuntze, Amaranthaceae, resulted in isolation of nine compounds: three steroids, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol from P. renitens and sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside from A. brasiliana, the diterpene kaurane ent-kauran-16α,17-diol from P. renitens, two derivatives kaempferolmethylether, kumatakenine (kaempferol-3,7-dimethylether) and kaempferol-3,7,3'-trimethylether from S. guianensis and three flavones, crysoeriol (5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3'-methoxyflavone), tricin (5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxyflavone) and 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside-5,4'-dihydroxy-3'-methoxyflavone from A. brasiliana. Compounds structures were determinate using 1D and 2D 1 H NMR and 13 C spectral data, mass and IR spectra, comparing with literature data.

“…Essential or volatile oils are aromatic liquids obtained from plant material such as leaves, and their current uses are primarily as alternative substances for controlling microorganisms resistant to antibiotics (Acosta et al, 2003). The antimicrobial action of the oils most likely occurs because it affects the structure of the microorganism cell wall, interrupting vital cell processes and leading to cell death (Leitão et al, 1999;Dorman and Deans, 2010;Geromini et al, 2012).…”

RESUMO:Descreve-se a morfo-anatomia e a análise de óleo essencial das folhas de Hennecartia omphalandra J. Poisson (Monimiaceae), uma planta tóxica. A ocorrência de tricomas unicelulares, estômatos paracíticos; braquiesclereídes em grupos no pecíolo e na lâmina foliar, além de esclereídes vermiformes e ramiformes; sistema vascular em arco, com extremidades voltadas para o centro no pecíolo e na forma de arco atenuado na lâmina foliar, sendo o padrão de venação uma variação do tipo craspedódromo-semicraspedódromo, além de óleo essencial armazenado em idioblastos oleíferos não especializados no mesofilo, foram considerados caracteres importantes que podem auxiliar na sua morfo-diagnose. A análise do óleo essencial das folhas revelou a presença de monoterpenos, sesquiterpenos e álcoois sesquiterpênicos, sendo este o grupo mais significativo. Os componentes majoritários identificados foram β-felandreno (24,0%), seguido por germacreno D (10,5%), sabineno (9,3%), biciclogermacreno (8,4%) e β-elemeno (5,3%).

Poisson (Monimiaceae)". This paper describes the morphological and anatomical aspects and the essential oil analysis of the leaves from Hennecartia omphalandra J. Poisson (Monimiaceae), a toxic plant. The presence of trichomes formed by a single cell, paracitic stomata, groups of braquisclereids in the petiole and leaf blade; vermiform and ramiform sclereids, vascular system in arc softly invaginated at ends in the petiole, and in a flat arc in the middle vein, being the venation pattern a variation of craspedodromous-semicraspedodromous type, and essential oil stored in oil idioblasts in the mesophyll were the most important characters that can help the morphological diagnosis. The analysis of essential oil of the leaves showed the presence of monoterpenes, as well as sesquiterpenes hydrocarbons and alcohols, being the latter the most significant group. The major identified compounds were β-phelandrene (24.0%), germacrene D (10.5%), sabinene (9.3%), bicyclogermacrene (8.4%) and β-elemene (5.3%).
