    Author: Moreno J, Aparicio R, Velasco J, Rojas LB, Usubillaga A, Lue-Merú M.
    Journal: Nat Prod Commun; 2010 Feb; 5(2):311-3. PubMed ID: 20334150.
    Abstract:
    The hydrodistilled oil from the fruits of Bursera tomentosa, obtained in 0.2% yield, was analyzed by GC-MS. Nine components were identified, which made up 99.3% of the oil. The most abundant constituents were cis-ocimene (47.6%), n-nonane (28.2%) and germacrene-D (11.1%). The oil showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212) and Salmonella typhi (CDC 57), with MIC values of 80 microg/mL, 120 microg/mL and 100 microg/mL, respectively.
