Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Fragrant Mexican Copal (Bursera spp.).
Copal is the Spanish word used to describe aromatic resins from several genera of plants. Mexican copal derives from several Bursera spp., Protium copal, some Pinus spp. (e.g., P. pseudostrobus) and a few Fabaceae spp. It has been used for centuries as incense for religious ceremonies, as a food preservative, and as a treatment for several illnesses. The aim of this review is to analyze the che...
متن کاملChemical Composition and Biological Activities of Essential Oil and Methanol Extract of Teucrium scordium
In this study, the chemical composition of the essential oil of Teucrium scordium was studied using capillary GC and GC/MS instruments. In addition, the antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of the oil and methanol extract were evaluated by disc diffusion and MTT assays, respectively. Forty-three volatile components were identified from the oil of aerial parts, representing of 98....

متن کاملAnti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of six pentacyclic triterpenes isolated from the Mexican copal resin of Bursera copallifera
BACKGROUND Bursera copallifera (Burseraceae) releases a resin known as "copal ancho" which has been used, since pre-Colombian times, as ceremonially burned incense and to treat tooth ache, tumors, arthritis, cold, cough, and various inflammatory conditions; however, its anti-inflammatory potential is poorly studied. The aim of the present study was to isolate, quantify, and to investigate the a...
متن کاملChemical Variability and Biological Activities of Eucalyptus spp. Essential Oils.
Many plant species produce mixtures of odorous and volatile compounds known as essential oils (EOs). These mixtures play important roles in Nature and have been utilized by mankind for different purposes, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, aromatherapy, and food flavorants. There are more than 3000 EOs reported in the literature, with approximately 300 in commercial use, including the EOs ...
