Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Sesquiterpenes made up 87.51% of the essential oil of Anemia tomentosa.
- Observation Presilphiperfolan-1-ol was the main component of the essential oil at 42.13%.
- Observation Silphiperfol-5-ene was present in the essential oil at 19.47%.
- Intervention effect Essential oil of Anemia tomentosa reached 100% mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae.
- Observation The essential oil showed potential cytotoxic activity up to 48 h of exposure in the larvicidal assay.
- Mechanism Compounds from Anemia tomentosa have potential to inhibit acetylcholinesterase in Aedes aegypti in silico.
- Association Triquinane sesquiterpene activity (-6.8 to -8.2 kcal mol-1) stood out compared with temephos (-7.5 kcal mol-1) in silico.
