Chemical Diversity and Biological Activities of Essential Oils from , and Species (Lauraceae) with Occurrence in Brazilian Biomes.

Lauraceae species are known as excellent essential oil (EO) producers, and their taxa are distributed throughout the territory of Brazil. This study presents a systematic review of chemical composition, seasonal studies, occurrence of chemical profiles, and biological activities to EOs of species of , , and genera collected in different Brazilian biomes. Based on our survey, 39 species were studied, with a total of 86 oils extracted from seeds, leaves, stem barks, and twigs.

The chemistry and biological activities of Peperomia pellucida (Piperaceae): A critical review.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth is an annual weed with a preference to humid places with reduced solar radiation. This plant is mainly distributed in the Neotropics, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
