ThePiperL. genus has a great variety of commercially, pharmacologically and biologically interesting species. The present study focused on essential oils extracted by means of the hydrodistillation from dry leaves ofPiper cernuum, Piper glabratum, Piper hispidumandPiper madeiranum. The species supplied essential oil contents of between 0.5% and 0.8%. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analyses revealed that the majority of components were-elemene (11.6%) andepi-cubebol (13.1%) forP.cernuum;-caryophyllene (14.6%) and longiborneol (12.0%) forP.glabratum;-pinene (12.0%), khusimene (12.1%) and-cadinene (13.2%) forP.hispidum;-caryophyllene (11.2%) and germacrene D-4-ol (11.1%) forP.madeiranum. The test carried out on the essential oils concerning theArtemia salinaL. produced the following values for LC50200.03 μg/mL (P.cernuum), 45.21 μg/mL (P.glabratum), 404.80 μg/mL (P.hispidum) and 49.64 μg/mL (P.madeiranum).
