- Abstract
This article, published in the Chemistry of Natural Compounds journal, examines the essential oil composition and biological activities of Microtoena insuavis, a plant native to China. The plant has been traditionally used in medicine to treat symptoms such as fever, headaches, and abdominal pain. The study analyzes the chemical composition of the essential oil and identifies 26 compounds, with 1-octen-3-ol, patchouli alcohol, and α-guaiene being the major constituents. The essential oil exhibits moderate antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria and yeast, as well as antioxidant properties. This research provides valuable insights into the potential therapeutic properties of M. insuavis essential oil, making it a potential natural alternative product and source of pharmaceutical agents. Further research in this area may be of interest to those seeking alternative remedies or pharmaceutical options.
