“…As can be observed from our findings, as well as from other analysis on essential oil from Piper species, [10][11][12][13]15,16 there is a notable tendency of those plants to biosynthesize sesquiterpenes, independent of their natural habitats. …”

“…latifolium oil from Panama, δ-cadinene (25.80%) and α-copaene (7.40%) were the main compounds. 11 Comparison of those major constituents for all P. arboreum oils from different origins revealed that all components are present in the oil from Rio de Janeiro, just two of them (germacrene D and α-copaene) are present in the oil from Rondônia and, that the same compounds (germacrene D, (E)-caryophyllene, δ-cadinene and α-copaene) are qualitatively but not quantitatively, present in both oils from Ceará and Panama. In the essential oil of P. dilatatum, from Ceará, α-phellandrene (22.53%) and ∆-3-carene (10.20%) were the major monoterpene hydrocarbons, while bicyclogermacrene (25.03%) and (E)-caryophyllene (10.26%) were the main sesquiterpene hydrocarbons.…”

“…Previous studies on leaf essential oils of what seems to be three varieties of P. arboreum have been reported and significant differences were found in their chemical compositions, although all them were dominated by sesquiterpenes. 10,11,15 The leaf essential oil of P. arboreum Aublet var. latifolium (C.DC) Yuncker from Rondônia, was characterized by an higher content of germacrene D (72.87%), 10 while in the leaf oil of P. arboreum var.…”

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Many Piper species are aromatic and as a consequence the chemical composition of the essential oils of several of them has been the subject of incessant studies, revealing a diverse range of volatile components, including monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, arylpropanoids, aldehydes, ketones and long chain alcohols. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Pursuing the determination of the chemical composition of essential oils from aromatic and medicinal plants from Northeast of Brazil flora, especially from the State of Ceará, we are reporting now the results of the investigation of four Piper species: P. dilatatum L.C. Rich, P. arboreum Aubl., P. tuberculatum Jacq.…”

Os óleos essenciais obtidos por hidrodestilação das folhas de quatro espécies de Piper (P. arboreum, P. crassinervium, P. dilatatum and P. tuberculatum), coletadas no estado do Ceará, foram analisados por CG-EM. Os rendimentos dos óleos, calculados sobre o peso do material fresco, variaram entre 0,03 -0,11% (p/p). Os óleos foram caracterizados pela presença de mono-e sesquiterpenos, exceto o óleo de P. arboreum, no qual foram identificados apenas sesquiterpenos. β-Elemeno (0,58-3,03%), (E)-cariofileno (2,71-37,78%), germacreno D (3,43-11,81%), biciclogermacreno (2,83-25,07%) e δ-cadineno (0,52-2,44%) foram detectados em todas as amostras analisadas. Os monoterpenos majoritários identificados foram α-pineno (11,27%), β-pineno (20,01%), 1,8-cineol (10,81%) e linalol (28,61%) para P. crassinervium, e α-felandreno (22,53%) e ∆-3-careno (10,20%) para P. dilatatum. Biciclogermacreno (25,03 e 25,07%) para P. arboreum e P. dilatatum, (E)-nerolidol (11,12%) para P. arboreum, germacreno D (11,81%) para P. tuberculatum e (E)-cariofileno (10,26 e 37,78%) para P. dilatatum e P. tuberculatum, foram os principais sesquiterpenos. Este trabalho descreve, pela primeira vez, a composição química dos óleos essenciais de P. crassinervium e P. tuberculatum.The essential oils, obtained by hydrodistillation, from leaf samples of four Piper species (P. arboreum, P. crassinervium, P. dilatatum and P. tuberculatum), harvested at the State of Ceará, were analyzed by GC-MS. The oil yields ranged from 0.03 to 0.11% (w/w), on fresh weight basis. The oils were characterized by mono-and sesquiterpenes, except the oil of P. arboreum to which only sesquiterpenes were identified. β-Elemene (0.58-3.03%), (E)-caryophyllene (2.71-37.78%), germacrene D (3.43-11.81%), bicyclogermacrene (2.83 and 25.07%) and δ-cadinene (0.52-2.44%) were detected in all oil samples. The major identified monoterpenes were α-pinene (11.27%), β-pinene (20.01%), 1,8-cineole (10.81%) and linalool (28.61%) for P. crassinervium and, α-phellandrene (22.53%) and ∆-3-carene (10.20%) for P. dilatatum. The major sesquiterpenes were bicyclogermacrene (25.03 and 25.07%) for P. arboreum and P. dilatatum, (E)-nerolidol (11.12%) for P. arboreum, germacrene D (11.81%) for P. tuberculatum and, (E)-caryophylene (10.26 and 37.78%) for P. dilatatum and P. tuberculatum. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report about the chemical composition of the leaf essential oils of P. crassinervium and P. tuberculatum.

Abstract:The essential oils from two native species from Guatemala were studied for their chemical composition and the dichloromethane and methanol extracts for their biological activity. A GC-MS analysis of the essential oil from Piper jacquemontianum Kunth, Piperaceae, showed 34 constituents, consisting mainly of linalool (69.4%), while Piper variabile C. DC. essential oil had 36 constituents, camphor (28.4%), camphene (16.6%) and limonene (13.9%) being the major components. Dichloromethane extracts of both species were cytotoxic against MCF-7, H-460 and SF-268 cell lines (<7 µg/mL). Dichloromethane extract of P. jacquemontianum was slightly active against bacteria (0.5 mg/mL), was active against promastigotes of Leishmania (20.4-61.0 µg/mL), and epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi (51.9 µg/mL). The methanol extract of P. variabile showed antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum F32 (4.5 µg/mL), and the dichloromethane extract against Leishmania (55.8-76.3 µg/mL) and T. cruzi (45.8 µg/mL). None of the extracts from the two species was active against Aedes aegypti larvae and Artemia salina nauplii.
