“…Essential oils from the Baccharis species have showed that, although the main constituent may vary, sesquiterpenes are usually the dominant class. 26 Furthermore, important differences in the amounts of the major constituents were found, mainly of germacrene D (6.3-28%) which had the highest percentage in September-November (both populations); ledol (2.5-16%) showed a high variation in the wild population, while cultivated samples revealed higher amounts, regardless of the months; and bicyclogermacrene (12-24%) had the highest contents between July-February in the wild population, and in December-February in cultivated ones.The results obtained from PCA and nearest neighbour complete linkage cluster analysis using Ward's technique revealed the existence of a high chemical variability within the essential oils of B. trimera. 27 Figure 1 shows the relative position of the individuals in the discriminant space in relation to an axial system that was originated in the PCA.…”

A variação sazonal na composição química do óleo essencial em populações de Baccharis trimera natural e cultivada indicou a presença de três grupos de óleos em relação à origem e à fase de desenvolvimento das amostras. O primeiro incluiu amostras floridas, silvestres ou cultivadas, no período entre março-maio, contendo altas percentagens de globulol e espatulenol. No grupo II, com amostras silvestres coletadas entre junho-fevereiro, os constituintes majoritários foram o germacreno D e o (E)-cariofileno, enquanto que o grupo III incluiu amostras cultivadas entre junho-fevereiro e contendo um alto conteúdo de ledol. A análise por correlação canônica indicou que (E)-cariofileno, Mn, saturação por Al e precipitação foram fortemente correlacionados às amostras silvestres (grupo II), enquanto ledol e guaiol correlacionaram-se ao balanço químico do solo (P, K, S, Cu, Zn e saturação por bases) nas amostras cultivadas (grupo III). Ambos os óleos essenciais tem predominantemente hidrocarbonetos, embora em dois meses o conteúdo em sesquiterpenos oxigenados seja superior a 40% para ambas as amostras. As variações observadas podem estar relacionadas ao ambiente.The seasonal variations in the chemical composition of the essential oil of wild and cultivated Baccharis trimera populations indicated the presence of three clusters of oils regarding population and phenophase. The first included flowering, wild, and cultivated samples from a period of March-May, with high percentages of globulol and spathulenol. In cluster II, with wild samples collected from June-February, the major constituents were germacrene D and (E)-caryophyllene, while cluster III included cultivated samples from June-February containing a high content of ledol. The canonical correlation analysis revealed that (E)-caryophyllene, Mn, Al saturation, and precipitation were quite strongly related to wild samples (cluster II), whereas ledol and guaiol were related to chemical balance in soils (P, K, S, Cu, Zn, and base saturation) of cultivated samples (cluster III). Both essential oils have predominantly hydrocarbon compositions, although for a couple of months the oxygenated sesquiterpene content is over 40% for both samples. The observed chemovariation might be environmentally determined. Vol. 18, No. 5, 2007 popular uses in Brazil show that B. trimera is employed in the treatment of malaria, sore throat and tonsillitis, angines, anaemia, urinary inflammation and leprosy. [2][3][4] Liver-protective properties, gastrointestinal action, potential antidiabetic activity, and anti-arthritic effects have been validated, 5,6 and the anti-ophidian, relaxant, antimutagenic, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal activities have also been reported. 7,8 Chemical studies revealed the presence of clerodanetype diterpenes, saponins and their glycosides, and several flavonoids in this species. 5,7 Carqueja oil, a commercial fragrance cited as a reminiscent of rosewood, 9 is stemdistilled from its aerial parts, with the unusual monoterpene alcohol carquejol and its acetyl ester ...

IntroductionPropolis (also referred to as bee's glue) possesses a broad spectrum of biological activities, such as anti-hepatotoxic, antitumor, antiviral, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory properties, and is therefore used as a constituent of health foods and functional foods (BURDOCK, 1998).Propolis is collected from the leaf buds of numerous tree species (alder, birch, palm, pine, poplar and willow). Other plant exudates and secretions, such as substances secreted by plants to seal wounds, lipophylic substances on leaves, mucilages, gums, resins, lattices, etc. are also used (BANKOVA; CASTRO;MARCUCCI, 2000). Brazilian Green Propolis is collected from the tender sprouts of Baccharis dracunculifolia, which is commonly found in the States of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Paraná AGUIAR, 2002;IKEGAKI;ALENCAR, 2000). In Brazil, twelve distinct groups of propolis have been classified according to their botanical origin and biological properties. Brazilian Green Propolis is classified as Group 12, which is the most commercialized and largely used in foods and beverages to improve health and prevent diseases (PARK et al., 2005).Propolis is in general composed of 50% resin and balsam, 30% wax, 10% essential and aromatic oils, 5% pollen, and 5% other substances, such as aliphatic acids, esters, aromatic acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, aldehydes, amino acids, ketones, chalcones, dihydrochalcones, terpenoids, vitamins (B1, B2, B6, C and E) and minerals (aluminum, antimony, calcium, cesium, copper, iron, lanthanum, manganese, mercury, nickel, silver, vanadium and zinc) (ALMEIDA; MENEZES, 2002). Resumo Extratos etanólicos e óleos essenciais de própolis verde do sudeste brasileiro e gemas de sua origem botânica (Baccharis dracunculifolia) foram analisados por CLAE-FR (Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência em Fase Reversa), CCDAE (Cromatografia em Camada Delgada de Alta Eficiência) e CG-EM (Cromatografia Gasosa acoplada a Espectrometria de Massas). Os óleos essenciais foram obtidos por hidro destilação.Extratos etanólicos e óleos essenciais de Baccharis dracunculifolia e de própolis mostraram perfis cromatográficos similares entre si. Treze flavonóides foram identificados por CLAE-FR e CCDAE em ambas as amostras. Vinte e três compostos voláteis foram identificados por CG-EM, sendo dezessete deles presentes em ambos os óleos essenciais. Artepillin C foi o flavonóide encontrado em maiores concentrações em ambas as amostras, enquanto nerolidol foi o volátil majoritário em ambos os óleos essenciais. Os compostos majoritários identificados neste trabalho podem ser utilizados como marcadores químicos para classificar de forma prática e identificar origens botânicas de própolis.

“…Baccharis é um importante gênero desta família e compreende muitas espécies denominadas popularmente de carqueja e indicadas para o tratamento de distúrbios do sistema digestivo (SILVA JÚNIOR, 1997;MORS et al, 2000). Para o gênero existem relatos da presença de flavonóides (BIANCHI et al, 1993;GIANELLO et al, 2000;SHARP et al, 2001), diterpenos (FULLAS, 1991;GIANELLO et al, 2000), taninos (SÁ; NEVES, 1996;ORTINS;AKISUE, 2000), óleo essencial (FERRACINI et al, 1995;LAWRENCE;COMPANY, 1999;ORTINS;AKISUE, 2000;FRIZZO et al, 2001) e saponinas (BIANCHI, 1993;ORTINS;AKISUE, 2000). No Brasil, a carqueja está entre as dez plantas medicinais mais comercializadas (SILVA JÚNIOR, 1997) e o Paraná se destaca como seu maior produtor (CORREA JÚNIOR et al, 1991).…”

RESUMO: Diferentes espécies de Baccharis são conhecidas popularmente como carqueja e empregadas indistintamente na medicina tradicional como estomáquicas e diuréticas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo contribuir para a determinação de parâmetros para o controle de qualidade e aplicação na indústria de fitoterápicos, através da análise de quatro espécies de carqueja: Baccharis dracunculifolia DC., B. articulata (Lam.) Pers., B. cylindrica (Less.) DC. e B. gaudichaudiana DC. De um modo geral, B. dracunculifolia apresentou os maiores teores de umidade e de perda por dessecação, enquanto que B. articulata mostrou os maiores índices afrosimétrico e de amargor e teores de extratos secos a frio e a quente e de cinzas totais. B. dracunculifolia foi a espécie que apresentou maior rendimento do óleo volátil. Alguns componentes do óleo volátil ocorrem nas quatro espécies, porém cada uma delas apresentou um perfil cromatográfico característico. dracunculifolia showed the highest results of water content, essential oil and loss on drying, while B. articulata showed the highest foam and bitter indices, ash and water soluble extractive results. Some components of the essential oil appeared in the four species, although each one showed a charateristic chromatographic profile by TLC analysis. Unitermos: Baccharis dracunculifolia; Baccharis articulata; Baccharis cylindrica; Baccharis
