“…Studies have shown that it works by antagonizing interleukin-12 and tumor necrosis factor α to treat inflammation by waiting for inflammatory factors [ 14 ]. Therefore, wormwood can help alleviate inflammatory symptoms such as pain, redness, fever, and swelling and is also used to treat labor pain, premenstrual pain, and joint and muscle pain [ 5 ]. Many studies on the anti-inflammatory effects of wormwood have focused on its treatment for patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Naturally occurring substances and their derivatives function as vital resources for pesticides that can be used in fields, such as insecticide production and fungicide development. As a botanical entity displaying multifaceted biological functions, wormwood has received thorough scrutiny across multiple sectors. The insect repellency potency combined with antibacterial and antifungal activities of wormwood position it as a potential candidate for prospective development into eco-friendly chemical pesticides. In this research, Wormwood essential oil was procured via ethanol water under ultrasonic scenarios and subsequently diluted with PEG 400 to formulate green chemical pesticides. The defensive efficacy of this green pesticide on plants was validated through 2 weeks of clustered plant growth experiments. Active constituents that exerted their effects were scrutinized by GC-MS. Furthermore, this green pesticide also displays efficacious effects on the prevention and management of aphids, exhibiting a dose-dependent relationship. 4-terpenol, eucalyptol, carvacrol, and L-borneol were identified by GC-MS as the predominant active constituents in this green chemical pesticide. Wormwood can be leveraged to develop green chemical pesticides, which can protect plants without contaminating the environment.
