Title: Composition, and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of the volatile oil from the fruit peel of Garcinia brasiliensis. Author: Martins FT, Doriguetto AC, de Souza TC, de Souza KR, Dos Santos MH, Moreira ME, Barbosa LC. Journal: Chem Biodivers; 2008 Feb; 5(2):251-8. PubMed ID: 18293438. Abstract: The composition of the volatile oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the fruit peel of Garcinia brasiliensis (Mart.) Planch. et Triana was determined by GC/MS. A total of 38 components were identified, including gamma-muurolene (10.3%), spathulenol (8.7%), delta-cadinene (8.3%), torreyol (8.0%), alpha-cadinol (7.0%), cadalene (6.3%), and gamma-cadinene (5.3%). Oxygenated sesquiterpenes (43%) were the main group of compounds. The anti-inflammatory activity of the volatile oil was evaluated through the rat-paw edema model induced by carrageenan. Inhibition of the inflammatory process was noticed 3 h after carrageenan administration. In addition, the volatile oil showed poor antioxidant activity.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
