This study aimed to assess the biological activities of Tunisian Simmondsia chinensis and characterize its potential bioactive compounds. Different extracts of S. chinensis were tested for their antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-α-amylase, and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities through in vitro assays.

The structural characterisation of the compound was achieved through various spectroscopic techniques including FT-IR, 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, as well as acidic hydrolysis analyses. Remarkably, phalarisin exhibited potent antimicrobial properties against a range of pathogens including , , , and , with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 31.
