(Taylor & Francis, 2004) Javier Bernardo Lopez Arze; Guy J. Collin; François-Xavier Garneau; France-Ida Jean; Hélène Gagnon
Abstract The essential oil of the aerial parts of Ophryosporus heptanthus (Asteraceae) from Bolivia was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The oil was characterized by a high percentage of santolinatriene (∼ 47%) and the presence of precocene II (∼ 8%) as the most important minor constituent. The other compounds were monoterpenes (∼ 16%), with p-cymene as the major compound (∼ 4.8%), sesquiterpenes (∼ 6%), oxygenated sesquiterpenes (∼ 8%) and oxygenated monoterpenes (∼ 4.5%).

Essential Oils from Bolivia. VI. Lamiaceae:Lepechinia graveolens(Reg.) EplingL. floribunda(Benth.) Epling, andL. meyeni(Walp.) Epling
(Taylor & Francis, 2009) Javier Bernardo Lopez Arze; Guy J. Collin; François-Xavier Garneau; France-Ida Jean; Hélène Gagnon
Abstract The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from three different Lamiaceae, Lepechinia graveolens, L. floribunda and L. meyeni growing in the High Valley Region of Bolivia, Province of Cochabamba, was determined by a combination of GC and GC/MS measurements. Sesquiterpenes dominated in L. graveolens (61%). In the oil of L. meyeni the monoterpenes constituted the most important fraction (ca. 40%) followed by oxygenated sesquiterpenes (ca. 31%). Finally, the composition of the oil of L. floribunda was more complex: sesquiterpenes (20–28%), monoterpenes (21–20%), oxygenated sesquiterpenes (21–23%), and oxygenated monoterpenes (18.5–13%).
Essential Oils from Bolivia. VII. Myrtaceae:Myrcianthes osteomeloides(Rusby) McVaugh andMyrcianthes pseudomato(Legrand) McVaugh

Abstract The chemical composition of the essential oils of Myrcianthes osteomeloides and M. pseudomato was studied by GC and GC/MS. Myrcianthes osteomeloides oil contained 1,8-cineole (55.7%) as the major component followed by α-pinene (17.9%), α-terpineol (8.5%) and β-pinene (4.6%). We identified 1,8-cineole (24.4%), α-pinene (17.1%), linalool (11.7%), limonene (8.5%) and γ-terpinene (7.3%) as main constituents in M. pseudomato oil.

The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from Gnaphalium viravira growing in the high valley region of Bolivia, Province of Cochabamba, was determined by a combination of GC and GC/MS measurements. The composition of the oil is dominated by non oxygenated terpenes. The main products are limonene, α-copaene, β-caryophyllene, geranyl-α-terpinene, and geranyl- p-cymene. Oxygenated monoterpenes account for less than 10%.
Essential Oils from Bolivia. XI. Verbenaceae :Aloysia gratissima(Gillies & Hook.) Tronc. and Boraginaceae :Cordia chacoensisChodat
(Taylor & Francis, 2013) Javier Bernardo Lopez Arze; Guy J. Collin; François-Xavier Garneau; France-Ida Jean; Hélène Gagnon
The compositions of the essential oil of the aerial parts of Aloysia gratissima and Cordia chacoensis are almost similar. In both cases, oxygenated sesquiterpenes constituted the main group (be- tween 40 and 50 %): 6α-hydroxygermacra-1(10),4-diene being the major compound (∼ 16 %). Sesquiterpenic molecules constitute the second important group (30 – 34 %) with β-caryophyllene as the major compound (8.0 %).
Essential oils from Bolivia. XII. Asteraceae:Ophryosporus piquerioides(D.C.) Benth. ex Baker
(Taylor & Francis, 2013) F.-X. Garneau; Guy J. Collin; France-Ida Jean; Hélène Gagnon; Javier Bernardo Lopez Arze
The essential oils of two samples of Ophryosporus piquerioides (D.C.) Benth. ex Baker growing wild in Bolivia were analyzed to determine their chemical composition. These samples were collected at two different periods of the year and although the same components appear in both samples, the relative percentages show an important variation. Davanone and its isomer isodavanone, (E)-nerolidol and caryophyllene oxide are the main components in both samples A and B: 65 and 30%, respectively. Camphor, borneol, and bornyl acetate are important minor components: 8.0 and 14.2%, respectively. Camphene (2.0 and 2.4%) and β-caryophyllene (3.3 and 6.1%) are the main hydrocarbon compounds. However, the four davana ethers are observed in sample A: almost 7%. Only traces of these compounds are observed in sample B. Finally, 6α-hydroxygermacra-1(10),4-diene and β-davanon-2-ol are noticeable products in sample B (3.1 and 1.9%).
Essential oils from Bolivia. XIII. Myrtaceae:Blepharocalyx salicifolius(Kunth.) O. Berg
(Taylor & Francis, 2012) François-X. Garneau; Guy J. Collin; France‐I. Jean; Hélène Gagnon; Javier Bernardo Lopez Arze
The essential oils of two samples of Blepharocalyx salicifolius (Kunth.) O. Berg growing wild in Bolivia were analyzed to determine their chemical composition. These samples were collected at different periods of the year and although the same products appear in the samples, the relative percentages show an important variation. Mono-oxygenated sesquiterpene molecules, among them ledol and (E)-nerolidol, are the main compounds observed in one sample. In another sample, about two-thirds of the observed compounds are monoterpenes, and more particularly β- and α-pinenes, 35% and 17%, respectively.
Essential Oils from Bolivia. XV. Herzogole, an Original Monoterpene Benzodioxole from an Essential Oil from Pentacalia herzogii (Cabrera) Cuatrec
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021) Alexis St‐Gelais; Eliana M. Maldonado; Gloria Saavedra; Samuel Siles-Alvarado; Jérôme Alsarraf; Guy J. Collin; André Pichette
Over 15 years, with the support of a Canadian funding agency, the Universidad Mayor de San Simón, in Bolivia, undertook a large survey of aromatic plants of the South American country. More than a hundred species were studied under various aspects, including the production and characterization of essential oils. As part of this survey, the chemical composition of an essential oil sample obtained from Pentacalia herzogii (Asteraceae) growing wild in the High Valley region of the department of Cochabamba was determined by a combination of GC and GC-MS measurements. α-Pinene was the main constituent of this essential oil (34%), accompanied by limonene (22%) and germacrene D (7.5%) as well as an important fraction of methoxylated monoterpenoids. They were mainly isomers of thymol methyl ether, accounting for 13% of the chromatogram. A new quantitatively important compound (9%) was identified through NMR and chemical synthesis as 4-isopropyl-6-methylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxole, and designated herzogole, alongside the minor related compound 1-isopropyl-2,3-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzene. The monoterpene benzodioxole featured a distinctive green-phenolic aroma which could raise interest for fragrance use. Since these compounds were not known naturally, a biosynthetic mechanism of their formation was proposed and put in perspective to illustrate the metabolic originality of P. herzogii.

(Taylor & Francis, 1990) Susana Muñoz; Guy J. Collin; Bernard Gagnon; Jorge Soriano Ferrufino
ABSTRACT The essential oils of two plants (Hedeoma mandoniana and Minthostachys andina) of the mint family from the high valleys and mountains of Bolivia have been analyzed by a combination of GC/MS and retention indices. Both oils were found to contain pulegone as the major compound. The physical and chemical properties of the oils are similar to those of the well-known American and European pennyroyal oils.
