Spanish abstract Croton zehntneri Pax. & K. Hoffm. (Euphorbiaceae) es una planta aromática nativa de la región nororiental de Brasil, y es popularmente conocido como "canela de cunhã". La composición química de los aceites esenciales de hojas, tallos y raíces de três quimiotipos de C. zehntneri obtenido mediante hidrodestilación fueron examinados por GC–MS. E–anetol, fue principal componente en los aceites esenciales de todas las partes de la planta de quimiotipo 1. Si bien la fenilpropanóides estragol, eugenol, Z–metil isoeugenol and E–metil isoeugenol fueron el componente principal en los aceites esenciales de quimiotipos 2 e 3, respectivamente. El TLC estos aceites esenciales y los principales compuestos mostraron una acetilcolina esterase efecto inhibitorio
English abstract Croton zehntneri Pax. & K. Hoffm. (Euphorbiaceae) is an aromatic plant native of the northeaster region of Brazil; and is popularly known as "canela de cunhã". The chemical composition of the essential oils from leaves, stalks and roots from three chemotypes of C. zehntneri obtained by hydrodistillation were analyzes by GC–MS. E–anethole, was the main component in the essential oils of all plants parts of che–motype 1. While the phenylpropanoids stragole, eugenol, Z–methyl isoeugenol and E–methyl isoeugenol were the major component in the essential oils of chemotypes 2 and 3, respectively. On TLC the essential oils and the major compounds showed an acetylcholine esterase inhibitory effect
