- DRIMYS BRASILIENSIS ESSENTIAL OIL AS A SOURCE OF DRIMENOL L. M. ZEM K. C. ZUFFELLATO-RIBAS M. I. RADOMSKI H. S. KOEHLER C. DESCHAMPS Ingeniería Cataia Monoterpene Composition Sesquiterpene Drimys brasiliensis Miers is a native plant species to the Atlantic Forest, commonly known as cataia, and used as a stimulant, anti-diahrreal, antipyretic, among other properties. Dried and fresh leaves of cataia were collected in autumn/2012, submitted to hydrodistillation in a Clevenger graduated apparatus over a period of 4 hours after reaching the boiling point, then essential oil was collected. In oil from green leaves, 49 compounds were identified, being 65.0% sesquiterpenes, 12.0% monoterpenes and 23.0% other substances. In oil from dry leaves, 40 compounds were identified, being 76.1% sesquiterpenes, 2.0% monoterpenes and 21.9% other compounds. The main constituents in green leaves were germacrene D (8.9%), bicyclegermacrene (5.3%), epialpha-cadinol (5.1%), alpha-cadinol (6.0%), and drimenol (9.3%). In dry leaves the main constituents were germacrene D (6.3%), (E)-nerodidol (5.4%), spathulenol (9.5%), epi-alpha-cadinol (5.5%), alpha-cadinol (6.7%), and drimenol (11.6%). Due to its composition, the species may possibly present some biological activities like antifungical, antibacterial, insectifuge, molluscicide, and also the pharmacological properties that the species may present. 2016 artículo científico 1518-1634 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=481554865007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4815 HOLOS application/pdf Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte HOLOS (Brasil) Vol.2
