Outros componentes majoritários do óleo são alfa-pineno, trans-cariofileno e alo-aromadendreno. Constatamos um amplo uso popular da espécie, muitas vezes associada à ação anti-inflamatória, creditado ao alfa-humuleno, encontrado em cerca de 3% do óleo essencial. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de revisão da literatura científica, as publicações foram analisadas e agrupadas de acordo com sua especificidade: botânica, ecologia, etnobotânica, fitoquímica e fitotecnia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão da cadeia produtiva da erva-baleeira (Cordia curassavica), como modelo de medicamento fitoterápico originado na flora nativa. Os estudos sobre fitotecnia e produção envolvendo as plantas nativas ainda são escassos perante o universo de possibilidades. É também uma importante estratégia para o desenvolvimento rural sustentável. The results provide a comprehensive picture of the species with the highest BCP and yield percentages.Ī Biodiversidade brasileira é de extrema riqueza e alto potencial para uso econômico, incluindo espécies medicinais. The survey evidences the importance of essential oil yield evaluation in support of the chemical analysis.

Identified species were also grouped according to their presence in the Belfrit list. Statistical analyses included the evaluation of variability in BCP% and yield% as well as the statistical linkage between families, plant parts and countries of origin by cluster analysis. The essential oils were found to be extracted from 13 plant parts and samples originated from 56 countries worldwide. A systematic analysis of plant species with essential oils containing a BCP percentage > 10% provided almost 300 entries with species belonging to 51 families. These are mainly due to its ability to interact with the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) and the complete lack of interaction with the brain CB1. BCP possesses several important pharmacological activities, ranging from pain treatment to neurological and metabolic disorders. These results, along with consolidating breeding programs, contribute to the conservation of the species.Į)-β-caryophyllene (BCP) is a natural sesquiterpene hydrocarbon present in hundreds of plant species.

Only two accessions (VC-1 and VC-5) presented α-humulene content lower than that recommended for phytotherapeutic production. Group C, with the greatest number of accessions, presented values of up to 6.1 and 41.2% for α-humulene and β-caryophyllene, respectively. Conversely, in Group B, the most abundant compound was α-humulene (31.6%). Group A presented lower relative abundance of the compounds α-humulene (1.4%) and β-caryophyllene (8.5%).

Three groups were formed by cluster analysis. Essential oil yield ranged from 0.1 (VC-9) to 1.22% (VC-3) among the studied accessions. Fifty-five compounds were detected, 46 of which were identified by GC-MS analysis. The essential oils of 10 accessions analyzed in triplicate were obtained by hydrodistillation. The objective of this work was to study the chemical diversity of the native populations of this species maintained in the in vivo germplasm bank from Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Varronia curassavica (Jacq.) is a shrub and perennial plant native to Brazil that has therapeutic, anti-inflammatory and cicatrizing properties.
