  • Title: Composition and anti-wood-decay fungal activities of the leaf essential oil of Machilus philippinensis from Taiwan.
    Author: Ho CL, Hsu KP, Wang EI, Lin CY, Su YC.
    Journal: Nat Prod Commun; 2010 Feb; 5(2):337-40. PubMed ID: 20334154.
    Abstract:
    The hydrodistilled leaf essential oil of Machilus philippinensis was analyzed to determine its composition and yield. Seventy compounds were identified, the main ones being beta-caryophyllene (13.6%), alpha-pinene (12.0%), alpha-cadinol (7.4%), cis-ocimene (7.0%), spathulenol (5.6%), (E)-nerolidol (5.3%), tau-cadinol (4.8%) and beta-pinene (4.5%). Monoterpene hydrocarbons (36.1%) and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (33.0%) were the predominant groups of compounds. The leaf oil exhibited excellent anti-wood-decay fungal activities.
