“…With regards to the literature contributions on myrtle EO composition, in Table S1 we depicted the main compounds (relative percentages higher than 9.5%), detected in the samples from different European and extra-European countries [ 8 , 9 , 11 , 12 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 23 , 30 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 ,…”

“…Concerning the comparison with the previously investigated Italian samples, our study represents the first survey performed on M. communis in Northern Italy. Qualitative and quantitative differences emerged; however, the main compounds were ubiquitous even if present in different relative abundances [ 11 , 12 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Our samples were characterized by the highest amounts of α-pinene, which varied in relative percentages according to the conservation method, declining with the drying process.…”

“…Due to its broad use in folk medicine, myrtle has been widely investigated, especially with regards to the EO composition [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. In Italy, previous studies were focused on plants from Sardinia, Sicily, Campania, and Liguria regions [ 11 , 12 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Concerning literature data on the micromorphology, previous investigations were focused on the structure and ontogeny of the secretory cavities of leaves and flowers by means of both light and electronic microscopy [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”

A novel perception of botanic gardens as complex “factories of molecules” (Lombardy Region Project–Lr. 25/2016, year 2021), that mediate plant–environment interactions, and are the basis of their utility for humans, is presented. The core-topic is the medicinal plant heritage of the Ghirardi Botanic Garden (Toscolano Maderno, Brescia, Italy) of the University of Milan. In this work, we studied Myrtus communis L. subsp. communis (Myrtaceae) at multiple scale levels: macro- and micromorphological, with special emphasis on the secretory structures responsible for the production of secondary metabolites; phytochemical, with the analysis of the essential oil (EO) composition from leaves (fresh, dried, stored at −20 °C and at −80 °C) and fruits over two consecutive years (2018 and 2019); bio-ecological, with a focus, based on literature data, on the ecology and biological activity of the main EO components. The occurrence of secretory cavities producing terpenes, along with flavonoids, was proven. A high level of chemical variability across the obtained EO profiles emerged, especially that concerning quantitative data. However, regardless of the different conservation procedures, the examined plant part, or the phenological stage, we detected the presence of three ubiquitous compounds: α-pinene, 1,8-cineole, and linalool. The overall results will serve to enrich the Ghirardi Botanic Garden with novel labeling showing accurate and updated scientific information in an Open science perspective.

“…A família Myrtaceae abrange cerca 132 gêneros e 5.950 espécies, encontradas em regiões tropicais e subtropicais no mundo (Farag et al, 2018). É conhecida pelos seus OEs apresentarem propriedades aromáticas e medicinais, e frequentemente têm sido descritos em várias atividades biológicas (Bida et al, 2019), dentre as quais estão: a ação antibacteriana e anticâncer (Dias et al, 2019, Adnan, 2019; antiparasitário (Gevú et al, 2019); antimutagênico (Bugarin et al, 2014) e antioxidante (Singh et al, 2012;Fidelis, et al 2018;Maggio et al, 2019;Ribeiro et al, 2019).…”

O estresse oxidativo corresponde a um desequilíbrio entre agentes oxidantes e antioxidantes, que levam ao predomínio de espécies reativas de oxigênio, e como resultante podem provocar danos celulares e contribuir para o desenvolvimento de doenças e envelhecimento. Nesse contexto, os óleos essenciais (OEs) são uma mistura de compostos voláteis extraídos de plantas aromáticas que tem sido correlacionado ao efeito antioxidante. Diante disso, o estudo de OEs com princípio antioxidante é de grande importância, visto que podem ser um potencial para o desenvolvimento de formulações com finalidade terapêutica e atuar na prevenção do estresse oxidativo e os fatores correlacionados a ele. O presente estudo consiste numa revisão de literatura sobre o potencial antioxidante de OEs de espécies da família Myrtaceae avaliados pelo método de redução do radical 1-difenil-2-picril-hidrazil (DPPH) e os componentes majoritários correlacionados a esta atividade biológica. Foram selecionados 16 artigos de acordo com os critérios de inclusão nas plataformas de banco de dados Pubmed, Science Direct e Google Scholar. Os OEs de espécies da família Myrtaceae abordado neste estudo apresentaram potencial antioxidante pelo método de DPPH
