  • Title: Chemical composition of the leaf essential oil of Casimiroa edulis La Llave & Lex. (Rutaceae) from Monteverde, Costa Rica.
    Author: Miller SL, Haber WA, Setzer WN.
    Journal: Nat Prod Commun; 2009 Mar; 4(3):425-6. PubMed ID: 19413126.
    Abstract:
    The leaf essential oil of Casimiroa edulis (Rutaceae), collected from Monteverde, Costa Rica, has been obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. The leaf oil was dominated by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, predominately germacrene D (16-22%) and (E)-caryophyllene (16-17%), consistent with the traditional use of this plant as a sedative, sleep inducer and hypotensive.
