“…[20][21][22] In this context, the results of the GC and GC-MS analysis of the essential oil of the leaves and stems from Senecio atacamensis Phil., are listed in Table 1. The analysis showed the presence of twenty-four compounds, fifteen of which were identified as monoterpenes, eight as sesquiterpenes, and one as diterpene.…”

An essential oil from Senecio atacamensis Phil. (Asteraceae) was obtained by hydrodistillation of its aerial parts (leaves and stems) and its composition was determined by GC and GC/MS analysis. The identification by GC of the essential oil components, in both leaves and stems respectively, showed α-terpinene (36.05% and 20.57%); α-phellandrene (27.79% and 25.37%), and p-cymene (11.85% and 22.55%) as the most abundant monoterpenes. Furthermore, the oil was tested for its antimicrobial activity using paper disc diffusion and the dilution broth method, exhibiting moderate inhibition of human pathogenic bacteria.

“…Senecio nutans posee metabolitos secundarios (monoterpenoides), que no sólo tienen propiedades antibacteriales (Belaunde et al, 2007;Paredes et al, 2016); sino también, propiedades acaricidas (Alegre et al, 2017) y antifúngicas (Galvez et al, 2018). Del mismo modo, M. mollis y X. poposum tiene metabolitos secundarios con propiedades antibacteriales (Mora et al, 2009;Benites et al, 2011;González et al, 2012). Respecto a la neumonía, esta es otra de las enfermedades infecciosas causantes de una alta mortalidad en neonatos de alpacas (Guzmán et al, 2013;Rímac et al, 2017), debido a los daños ocasionados a nivel pulmonar (Cirilo et al, 2012;Guzmán et al, 2013).…”

In the high Andean areas, the main economic activity is alpaca raising, which is affected by various infectious and parasitic diseases. Rural populations often resort to wild plants that have diverse properties and help control various diseases. The objective was to document the uses of wild plants in the control of alpaca diseases in the high Andean areas of the Puno and Arequipa regions. Fifty alpaca-breeding families were interviewed in five localities. Thirty-two species belonging to 16 families were reported, with the Asteraceae and Fabaceae families having the highest number of species. The most frequently treated pathologies were diarrhea, pneumonia, fever and enteric parasitosis. For diarrhea treatment, the most used plants were M. mollis, S. nutansand T. filifolia, for pneumonia were G. prostrataand G. viravira, for enteric parasitosis were B. tricuneataand L. daucifoliaand for the elimination of ectoparasites (lice) was A. compacta. For all diseases, the treatment dose was higher in adults than in neonates and its application is in the rainy season. In acute disease conditions, rural families choice to drugs. Wild plants are a viable and sustainable alternative for the treatment of various diseases in alpacas.

“…The volatile components of plant species from Chilean and Peruvian Andean highlands communities have been one of the focuses of our chemical and biological research projects [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Since the chemical composition of VPEO has not yet been investigated, the aim of this study was to identify and quantify the components of VPEO from roots of Valeriana pilosa.…”

Valeriana pilosa is usually employed in Peruvian folk medicine in the form of infusion to treat stomach pain, and has antispasmodic, relaxing, sleep-promoting, and sedative properties, as well as is an anti-inflammatory. In this study, Valeriana pilosa essential oil (VPEO) was obtained by hydrodistillation, analyzed by GC and GC/MS, and 47 compounds were identified. Major oil components were α-patchoulene (5.8%), α-humulene (6.1%), seychellene (7.6%), and patchoulol (20.8%). Furthermore, we assessed the in vitro antioxidant activities, molecular docking, and Ligand Efficiency studies on enzymes involved in cellular redox pathways such as CYP2C9, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and xanthine oxidase. Essential oil antioxidant activities were assessed by FRAP, ABTS•+, and DPPH• radical scavenging activity. VPEO displays high antioxidant activity as compared to essential oils of Valeriana jatamansi and Valeriana officinalis oil roots. In addition, molecular docking and ADMET prediction was employed to compare the absorption, metabolism, and toxicity properties of Valeriana pilosa compounds. In the molecular docking studies, limonene, p-cimene, carvone, α-cubebene, cyclosativene, α-guaiene, allo-aromadendrene, valencene, and eremophyllene were the compounds with the best docking score on CYP2C9 and xanthine oxidase. Thus, volatile components of Valeriana pilosa could be associated with the detected antioxidant activity, acting as putative inhibitors of CYP2C9 and xanthine oxidase.
