Essential Oils ofPiper peltata(L.) Miq. andPiper aduncumL. from Cuba

Volatile Chemical Constituents of Piper aduncum L and Piper gibbilimbum C. DC (Piperaceae) from Papua New Guinea

“…These components accounted for 63.4 percent of the total oil composition while the other minor components made up the balance. The results obtained in this study for P. aduncum correlate with those of the published data for the chemical composition in the Amazon region, Malaysia, Fiji and Cuba [19][20][21]. The dill apiole content in P. aduncum from these localities are in agreement with each other while the chemical compositions for the Panama and Bolivia species have β-caryophyllene and 1,8-cineole as the main constituents respectively.…”

“…In contrast, Maia and co-workers [19] reported high dill apiole contents (31.5 -97.3 %) in samples obtained from the Amazon region. Malaysian and Fijian [20] samples were reported to contain 64.5 % and 58.0 % dill apiole, respectively, while samples from Cuba recorded 82.2 % composition [21]. By far the highest reported dill apiole contents in Piper aduncum were those from the Amazonian region, as reported by Maia and co-workers [19], with levels of 97.3 %.…”

Chemical Variation in Piper aduncum and Biological Properties of Its Dillapiole‐Rich Essential Oil

“…30%), respectively [22] [23]. The leave oils of specimens of P. aduncum occurring in Costa Rica [24] and Cuba [25] resemble those of the Brazilian Amazon specimens, where the principal constituent is dillapiole.…”

Essential Plant Oils and Insecticidal Activity in Culex quinquefasciatus

“…Ch ambrosiodes has as one of its components majority the carvacrol reported in the literature as insecticide terpene (Silva et al 2008;Kordali et al 2008). Pimenta racemosa, Eugenia melanadenia and Psidium rotundatum presented in its composition more than 50% of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes standing out in his majority composition 1,8 cineole, 4-terpineole andpinene terpenes with high insecticidal action (Pino et al, 2004(Pino et al, ,2005. Oil of turpentine in Aedes aegypti obtained strong insecticide and inhibitory action of development in previous studies (Lucia et al, 2007;Leyva et al, 2009bLeyva et al, 2010.…”

“…If we compare studies conducted with Curcuma aromatica (Choochate et al, 2005) and Curcuma zedoaria in Aedes aegypti these oils show lower values of LC 50 and CL 99 (Champakaew et al, 2007). Within the family Piperaceae, notably members of the genus Piper have noted insecticidal action, molluscicide (Chansang et al, 2005;Parmar et 1997) this is due to the presence of the secondary metabolites as alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, lignans, neolignanos, terpenes, flavononas, among others (Pino et al, 2004;Smith & Kassim 1979). Piper aduncum specifically shows in its composition a high percent of dilapiol, -pinene and 1.8-cineole (Bottia et 2007).…”
