- Abstract
The volatile oils from the leaves and stem barks of Cedrela fissilis were submitted to GC-MS analysis and separation by adsorption chromatography. The fractions were analysed by GC, 1H- and 13C-NMR as well as GC-MS. The major components found in the leaf oil were β-caryophyllene (26.3%) and bicyclogermacrene (34.6%), while in the stem bark oil the major compounds were β-bisabolene (10.9%) and globulol (10.9%). In an antibacterial assay, only the leaf oil was able to inhibit growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Eschorichia coli. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
