Chemical Composition and Preliminary Toxicity Evaluation of the Essential Oil from Link var. . () in Leach.

Ruiz and Pav, the second largest genus of the Piperaceae, has over the years shown potential biological activities. In this sense, the present work aimed to carry out a seasonal and circadian study on the chemical composition of essential oils and aromas, as well as to evaluate the preliminary toxicity in Leach and carry out an in silico study on the interaction mechanism. The chemical composition was characterized by gas chromatography (GC/MS and GC-FID).
