چکیده

Siphoneugena Berg (Myrtaceae) é um pequeno gênero eugenióide segregado de Eugenia por Berg. A investigação fitoquímica de Siphoneugena densiflora foi realizada com o objetivo de se descobrir metabólitos secundários que possam ser considerados marcadores quimiotaxonômicos e auxiliar na distinção entre os dois gêneros. Cinco taninos hidrolisáveis inéditos foram isolados do extrato metanólico da casca da raiz e caracterizados como 4-O-α-L2”-Oe seu isômero 4-O-α-L-3”-O-acetilramnopiranosídeo do ácido elágico, siphoneugenina, constituído por uma nova aglicona de estrutura dibenzo-1,4-dioxínica, 4-O-β-D-6”e 4-O-β-D3”,6”-di-O-acetilglucopiranosídeo do ácido 3,4’-di-O-metilelágico, juntamente com o 4-O-αL-4”-O-acetilramnopiranosídeo do ácido elágico, eschweilenol C, sitosterol, daucosterol, ramnose, casuarinina, castalagina e ácidos elágico, gálico e siríngico. Do extrato metanólico das folhas, além dos compostos conhecidos como a quercetina, quercitrina, guiajaverina, reinoutrina, chebulosídeo II, ácidos terminólico, madecássico e asiático, lupeol, αe β-amirina, foi isolado um novo triterpeno pentacíclico nomeado como 2α,3β,6β-triidroxiolean-12-en-28ato de β-D-glucopiranosila. Todas as substâncias foram identificadas através da análise dos dados espectrais e químicos obtidos, além da comparação com dados relatados na literatura.

The chemical composition of volatile oils from two Myrtaceae species, Myrceugenia myrcioides and Eugenia riedeliana, both native from the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest, was analyzed by GC-MS. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was colorimetrically evaluated for these oils. For M. myrcioides, monoterpene hydrocarbons represented the major class in the volatile oil, with α-pinene as the mo...
