Sumario:The essential oil obtained from the leaves of Piper amalago L. by hydrodistillation was analyzed by CG-MS. The yield essential oil from fresh plant material was 0.1%. The main compounds found were β-copaen-4-α-ol (26 %), 7-epi-α-eudesmol (21.84 %), epi-α-cadinol (12.70 %), and n-hexyl-benzoate (12.29 %). The essential oil demonstrated antifungal activity against nine Candida strains, as shown using the agar-diffusion method.
