(Myrtaceae) comprises approximately 266 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. taxa have great ecological, economic, and medicinal relevance due to their essential oils' chemical diversity and biological potential. This review reports 18 species growing around the world and the chemical and biological properties of their essential oils. Chemically, 110 oil records are reported with significant variability of volatile constituents, according to their seasonality and collection sites. Monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes with acyclic (C and C), -menthane, pinane, bisabolane, germacrane, caryophyllane, cadinane, and aromadendrane skeleton-types, were the primary constituents. The essential oils showed various biological activities, including antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, phytotoxic, larvicidal, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic properties. This review contributes to the species rational and economic exploration as natural sources to produce new drugs.
桃金娘科（Myrtaceae）约有 266 种，分布于世界热带和亚热带地区。由于其精油的化学多样性和生物潜力，这些类群具有重要的生态、经济和药用相关性。本综述报道了全世界生长的 18 种桃金娘科植物及其精油的化学和生物学特性。从化学角度来看，报道了 110 个油记录，挥发性成分根据季节性和采集地点存在显著差异。单萜和倍半萜具有无环（C 和 C）、-薄荷烷、蒎烷、毕蒎烷、吉玛烷、大根香叶烯、桉叶烷、卡丹烷和芳樟烷骨架类型，是主要成分。精油表现出多种生物活性，包括抗氧化、抗真菌、抗菌、植物毒性、杀幼虫、抗炎和细胞毒性。本综述有助于从 种植物中进行合理和经济的探索，作为生产新药的天然资源。
