The leaf essential oils of Eugenia cartagensis, Myrcia sp. nov. “fuzzy leaf”, Ocotea veraguensis, O. whitei, and Persea americana, have been obtained by hydrodistillation and the essential oil compositions determined by GC-MS. The essential oils have been screened for in-vitro cytotoxic activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines, and each of the species shows selective cytotoxic activity. E. cartagensis was active against HCT-15 and SW 620 human colorectal carcinoma cells, O. veraguensis and Myrcia “fuzzy leaf” were cytotoxic to MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 mammary adenocarcinoma cells, and O. whitei and Persea americana were toxic to M-14 melanoma cells.
