“…The present research found 1.3 to 1.9% essential oil in the leaves, which is higher than the contents being between 0.2 and 0.7% for aerial parts as reported by various authors [6,8,9,[14][15][16][17][18]. Most authors report 1,8-cineole as the major compound, and camphor, borneol, terpinen-4-ol and α-terpineol were also present in most samples.…”

Artemisia argyi, Chinese mugwort, is a plant widely used in China for various purposes from traditional medicine to food. The plant is less known in Europe. From plants grown in Austria, essential oils and their respective hydrolates were obtained, and their compositions were studied. Oxidized monoterpenes 1,8-cineole (32–42%), camphor (12–14%), and borneol (10–12%) were the main components present in both the essential oils and hydrolates. The essential oils also contained 6.6–10.5% monoterpene hydrocarbons such as β-caroyphyllene, camphene, and p-cymene. The hydrolate volatile fractions were devoid of hydrocarbons because of the low solubility of these compounds in water. Neointermedeol (selin-11-en-4-α-ol), a rather rare compound, and caryophyllene oxide were the major oxidized sesquiterpenes in the essential oils and were also present in low levels in the hydrolate volatiles. Furthermore, small amounts of eugenol were in the hydrolate volatiles. The essential oils and hydrolates showed some antioxidant activities in the DPPH and FRAP assays. Essential oils diluted 1:100 corresponded to gallic acid equivalents of 212–274 µg/mL in the FRAP assay and 26.1–30.7 µg/mL in the DPPH assay, while the ranges of activity for the hydrolates corresponded to gallic acid equivalents of 109–597 and 10.5–31.7 µg/mL for FRAP and DPPH assays, respectively.

“…Molecular docking is a virtual inspection known as an effective process to describe possible interactions between a bioactive molecule and a target enzyme. In recent years, numerous studies investigating the allelopathic effects of various EOs have demonstrated that these bio‐mixtures exert phytotoxic effects by inhibiting photosynthetic pigments, notably chlorophyll [79–81] . Following the demonstration of significant phytotoxicity induced by the REO, especially the fraction R 3 , on L. sativa seeds, the subsequent section aims to evaluate its potential impact on chlorophyll‘s photosynthetic stage.…”

Thus, it is intended in this part of the present work to dock the structures of the majority constituents of REO within the active pocket of the crystal structure of the enzyme protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PDB: 1SEZ), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll.…”

The resin essential oil (REO) of Araucaria heterophylla trunk bark was investigated for its chemical composition. Then, it was evaluated for its insecticidal and allelopathic activities. The REO was obtained by hydrodistillation for 9 h (yield of 4.2% w/w). Moreover, fractional hydrodistillation was carried out at 3‐hour intervals, resulting in 3 fractions (R1‐R3). GC/MS analysis of the obtained samples allowed the identification of 25 compounds, representing between 91.2 and 96.3% of their total constituents, which consisted predominantly of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated sesquiterpenes and diterpene hydrocarbons. α‐Copaene (1), γ‐muurolene (4), α‐copaen‐11‐ol (7), spathulenol (9), 15‐copaenol (10), ylangenal (21), dehydrosaussurea lactone (22), and sandaracopimaradiene (23) were identified as major compounds. The second part aimed to assess the impact of the A. heterophylla EO and its three fractions for their insecticidal and repellent activity against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), of which a strong repellent activity was noted. In addition, the studied samples showed high phytotoxic effects against Lactuca sativa. The main compounds of the studied samples were docked into the active pocket of protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PDB: 1SEZ), a key enzyme in chlorophyll biosynthesis. Thus, it is recommended to use the REO of A. heterophylla as a natural herbicide.

“…The phytotoxic potential presented in the samples may be related to oxygenated monoterpene compounds and hydrocarbon sequiterpenes that characterized the chemical profile of essential oils [ 86 ]. Reports in the literature on the herbicidal activity of EOs from species of Annonaceae are scarce.…”

Chemical Evaluation, Phytotoxic Potential, and In Silico Study of Essential Oils from Leaves of Guatteria schomburgkiana Mart. and Xylopia frutescens Aubl. (Annonaceae) from the Brazilian Amazon

The essential oils (EOs) of Guatteria schomburgkiana (Gsch) and Xylopia frutescens (Xfru) (Annonaceae) were obtained by hydrodistillation, and their chemical composition was evaluated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Herbicide activity was measured by analyzing the seed germination percentage and root and hypocotyl elongation of two invasive species: Mimosa pudica and Senna obtusifolia. The highest yield was obtained for the EO of Xfru (1.06%). The chemical composition of Gsch was characterized by the presence of the oxygenated sesquiterpenes spathulenol (22.40%) and caryophyllene oxide (14.70%). Regarding the EO of Xfru, the hydrocarbon monoterpenes α-pinene (35.73%) and β-pinene (18.90%) were the components identified with the highest concentrations. The germination of seeds of S. obtusifolia (13.33 ± 5.77%) showed higher resistance than that of seeds of M. pudica (86.67 ± 5.77%). S. obtusifolia was also more sensitive to the EO of Xfru in terms of radicle (55.22 ± 2.72%) and hypocotyl (71.12 ± 3.80%) elongation, while M. pudica showed greater sensitivity to the EO of Gsch. To screen the herbicidal activity, the molecular docking study of the major and potent compounds was performed against 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) protein. Results showed good binding affinities and attributed the strongest inhibitory activity to δ-cadinene for the target protein. This work contributes to the study of the herbicidal properties of the EOs of species of Annonaceae from the Amazon region.
