Abstract:
The identification of components presents in the plants is very important to
the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, fragrance and food industries. This study report,
for the first time, the phytoconstituents present in dichloromethane fraction
of Scutia buxifolia Reissek stem bark and leaves. The fractions were
analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and twenty-seven different
compounds were identified in the fractions analyzed. In the dichloromethane
(DCM) fraction of the leaves were identified sixteen compounds, totaling 36.98%
and eighteen compounds were described in DCM fraction of the stem bark, representing
16.17%. The main constituents of the fractions were Spathulenol (4.28%), 3-hexen-1-ol
(3.96%), ethyl-octadecenoate (3.72%), octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid (3.48%); 5,
9-heptadecadienoate (3.61%) and hexadecanoic acid (3.58%). Furthermore, several
secondary metabolites with interesting biological activity, such as: thymol,
β-cubebene, p-xilene, phytol, neophytadiene, lanost-8-en-24-al and stigmastan-3,5-diene
were also identified in of S. buxifolia DCM fractions, these results
serve as a incentive for additional studies bioguied and related to biological
activity of this species.
