“…It is also reported that its root when dried contains antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties that are used to deal with wound healing and diarrhea [42]. The leaves, fruits, branches and roots of Harrisonia perforate have been reported to contain several chromones, limonoids, triterpenoids and prenylated polyketides, including harrisotone A-E, haperforine A, haperforine E, 12-desacetylhap-erforine A, haperforine C2, haperforine F, haperforine G, Foritin, harrisonol A, peucenin-7-methyl ether, O-methyla-lloptaeroxylin, perforatic acid, eugenin, saikochromone A, greveichromenol and perforamone A-D [43]; β-sitosterol, obacunone, herteropeucenin-7-methyl ether, perforatic acid and harrisonin [44][45][46][47]; and harperforatin, harperfolide and harperamone [48].…”

Determination of the Allelopathic Potential of Cambodia’s Medicinal Plants Using the Dish Pack Method

et al. 2021

Plants produce several chemically diverse bioactive substances that may influence the growth and development of other organisms when released into the environment in a phenomenon called allelopathy. Several of these allelopathic species also have reported medicinal properties. In this study, the potential allelopathic effects of more than a hundred medicinal plants from Cambodia were tested using the dish pack method. The dish pack bioassay method specifically targets volatile allelochemicals. Twenty-five species were found to have significant inhibitory effects on lettuce radicle growth. Eleven different plant families, including Iridaceae (2), Apocynaceae (2), Poaceae (2), Sapindaceae, Araceae, Combretaceae, Orchidaceae, Clusiaceae, Zingiberaceae, Rutaceae and Asparagaceae had the plant species with high inhibitory effects. Allophyllus serrulatus had the highest growth inhibitory effect on lettuce radicles more than 60%, followed by Alocasia macrorrhiza, Iris pallida, Terminalia triptera, Wrightia tomentosa, Cymbidium aloifolium, Garcinia villersiana and Kaempferia parviflora. The candidate species were subjected to further studies to identify the volatile allelochemicals in the volatile constituents.
