Non-polar and polar chemical profiling of six Casearia species (Salicaceae)

Publication date: December 2019Source: Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, Volume 87Author(s): Naira Buzzo Anhesine, Paula Carolina Pires Bueno, Roseli Buzanelli Torres, Norberto Peporine Lopes, Alberto José CavalheiroAbstractSix species of Casearia (C. decandra, C. grandiflora, C. javitensis, C. arborea, C. lasiophylla and C. ulmifolia) were chemically investigated in their non-polar and polar constituents. To this purpose, leaf extracts were analyzed by Gas- (GC) and Liquid-Chromatography (LC) coupled with Mass Spectrometry (MS). Twenty compounds, mainly identified as terpenes, fatty acids and hydrocarbons, and differentially expressed in the six species, were detected in the non-polar extracts. Fourteen compounds, among which glycosylated flavonoids and clerodane-type diterpenes, were tentatively identified by LC-MS/MS analysis in the leaf ethanol extracts.
