Eugenilones A−N: sesquiterpenoids from the fruits of Eugenia uniflora

Phytochemistry, 2023
(+) and (-)-Eugenilones A-K, 11 pairs of undescribed enantiomeric sesquiterpenoids, together with three undescribed biogenetically related members eugenilones L-N, were discovered from the fruits of Eugenia uniflora Linn. (Myrtaceae). Structurally, eugenilones A-D were four caged sesquiterpenoids featuring 9,10-dioxatricyclo [6.2.2.02,7]dodecane, 11 ...

Evaluation of some pharmacological activities of Eugenia uniflora L.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1994
In view of the extensive use of Eugenia uniflora in folk medicine, different extracts of dried and fresh leaves of the plant were assayed to test its possible pharmacological activities. The infusion of fresh leaves had a highly significant anti-inflammatory effect when administered p.o. to rats 1 h before subplantar injection of carrageenin.

EUGENIA UNIFLORA A NUTRITIOUS, EASY-TO-GROW FRUIT FOR THE TROPICS

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
Eugenia uniflora L. (Pitanga, Surinam cherry, Pitangueira) is native to Brazil and other countries in Northern South America. It is a fast-growing shrub or small tree that grows to six meters and usually produces two crops per year of relatively small (2.5 to 3.0 cm), juicy fruits. The fruits ripen quickly, taking only about six to seven weeks to reach

Improving effects of the extracts from Eugenia uniflora on hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia in mice

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1999
EtOH (70%) extracts from the leaves of Eugenia uniflora were separated into six fractions with different polarity and molecular size, i.e. NP-1-NP-6. In an oral glucose tolerance test, NP-1 and 4 inhibited the increase in plasma glucose level. However, in an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test, such an inhibitory effect was not seen.
