Chemical compounds from Eperua falcata and Eperua grandiflora heartwood and their biological activities against wood destroying fungus Amusant N. auteur aut IRD Moretti Christian auteur aut IRD Richard B. auteur aut IRD Prost E. auteur aut IRD Nuzillard J. M. auteur aut IRD Thevenon M. F. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access The chemical analysis of the compounds present in dichloromethane and ethanolic fractions as well as bioassays enable to understand the differences in the durability of Eperua falcata and Eperua grandiflora. The main distinction between these two species is the acidic subfraction of diterpenoid extract, which is antifungal in Eperua falcata when tested under in-vitro conditions. This study also shows that ethanolic fraction plays an important role in the mechanism of natural durability. Furthermore, it reports the first isolation of cativic acid in Eperua falcata wood. specialized 076 Holz Als Roh Und Werkstoff 65 1 23-28 2007 0018-3768 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010037809 10.1007/s00107-006-0120-1 0018-3768 [F A010037809] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010037809 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2007/03/010037809.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2007-03-30 2017-08-23 fdi:010037809 fre
