Abstract
Spiranthera odoratissima A. St.-Hil., Rutaceae, known as “manacá” is a shrub native of the Brazilian Cerrado. Their leaves and roots are popularly used to treat rheumatism, infection and abdominal pain. This study analyzed the chemical composition of volatile oils from leaves of S. odoratissima and verified the seasonal variability of its chemical composition. The volatile oils were obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger type apparatus and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The main chemical components found in samples of volatile oils were β-caryophyllene, bicyclogermacrene, δ-cadinene, amorphous-4, 7(11)-diene, α-epimuurolol, α-cadinol, α-muurolol and γ-cadinene. The hierarchical clustering identified three groups: the first was characterized by α-epi-muurolol, the second by amorphous-4,7(11)-diene and the third group was characterized by α-muurolol. The discriminant canonical analysis was used to differentiate between clusters on the basis of oil composition. The results suggest that the rainfall presented a relationship with the chemical composition of the volatile oil. This is the first study conducted on the seasonal behavior of the chemical constituents in volatile oil from leaves of S. odoratissima.
