  ABSTRACT: According to the literature data on the chemical composition of the Trichilia genus performed in this work, it can be concluded that 334 different compounds were isolated and identified, distributed in monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes, steroids, limonoids, coumarins, flavonoids, lignans, phenolic acids, amino acids and lactones. Together with the structures of this compound, data from botanical classification and pharmaco-logical results from extracts and pure compounds on the Trichilia genus were also described. The compounds derived from terpenes pathway were more significant, corresponding to about 87.7% of isolated and identified compounds from various Trichilia species. Among the different terpenoid skeletons of this kind, limonoids were meanly reported, appearing a total of 33.9% of compounds isolated from several Trichilia species.
