The essential oils of three types of Siparuna guianensis collected at different places of the Amazon were analyzed by GC/MS. The main constituents found in the oil of the sample collected at Moju (PA) were epi-α-bisabolol (25.1%) and spathulenol (15.7%). The oil of the sample collected at Rio Branco (AC) was dominated by spathulenol (22.0%), selin-11-en-4α-ol (19.4%), β-eudesmol (10.0%) and elemol (10.0%). The major components found in the oil of the sample collected at Belem (PA) were germacrone (23.2%), germacrene D (10.9%), bicycliogermacrene (8.6%), germacrene B (8.0%) and atractylone (31.4%).
