RESUMO

The commercial copaiba oleoresin is an exuded obtained from the trunk of many species of the Copaifera genus (Caesalpinoideae, Leguminosae). This oil is used in the popular medicine as cicatrizant, anti-inflammatory, in the treatment of bronchitis and for skin diseases, and also in the cosmetic industry as fixative of the perfumes and as solvent for inks and varnishes. Although there are an extensive report concerning the composition of copaíba oil in the literature and some recent papers report the isolation of new compounds, the absolute configuration of many of then remains unknown. Thus, this work had as objective to isolate the compounds of the commercial copaíba oleoresin in order to characterize and determine the absolute configurations. Thus, the copaíba oleoresin was submitted to acid-base extraction supplying two fractions: Neutral Fraction (81.7%) and Acidic Fraction (18.3%). The study of the neutral fraction allowed the isolation of eleven sesquiterpenes, where two of then were not yet reported previously in this material {(-)-7(11)-selinen-4-ol and (-)-torreyol}; one new dinorlabdane and two known dinorlabdane and the diterpene clerodane 7-acetoxibacchotricuneatine D. The absolute configuration of dinorlabdanes was established by synthesis starting from (-)-3-hydroxycopalic acid and the stereochemistry of the C-13 carbon was determined using Mosher?s modified method. From the acid fraction were isolated three diterpenic acids (copalic, 3-acetoxy-copalic, 3-hydroxy-copalic). Besides, after treatment of a sample of acidic fraction with diazomethane and purification through SiO2 gel column chromatography, a new compound (methyl 3,19-dihydroxy-copalate) was isolated along with two rare diterpenes (dimethyl guamaate and methyl 4-hydroperoxy-18- norcopalate) and five known diterpenes.
