Article Synopsis
  • The essential oils (EOs) of two Annonaceae species, Gsch and Xfru, were extracted through hydrodistillation and analyzed for their chemical composition using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
  • The EO of Xfru had the highest yield (1.06%), with major components like α-pinene and β-pinene, while Gsch was rich in sesquiterpenes such as spathulenol and caryophyllene oxide.
  • The study evaluated herbicidal activity by assessing seed germination and growth in invasive species, revealing that one species was more resistant to Xfru, while another showed greater sensitivity to Gsch; molecular docking suggested strong inhibitory activity of δ-cadinene against a specific protein
