Abstract
The composition of the volatile oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the fruit peel of Garcinia brasiliensis (Mart.) Planch. et Triana was determined by GC/MS. A total of 38 components were identified, including γ‐muurolene (10.3%), spathulenol (8.7%), δ‐cadinene (8.3%), torreyol (8.0%), α‐cadinol (7.0%), cadalene (6.3%), and γ‐cadinene (5.3%). Oxygenated sesquiterpenes (43%) were the main group of compounds. The anti‐inflammatory activity of the volatile oil was evaluated through the rat‐paw edema model induced by carrageenan. Inhibition of the inflammatory process was noticed 3 h after carrageenan administration. In addition, the volatile oil showed poor antioxidant activity.
