摘要
This article aims to investigate volatile constituents and antiacetylcholinesterase, antileishmanial and antiproliferative activities of hexane extracts from fruit (unripe bode pepper 'HE-UB' and ripe little beak pepper 'HE-RB'). HE-UB and HE-RB were screened by the microplate assay method to determine their antiacetylcholinesterase activity. Both exhibited inhibitory potential, i. e., IC = 41.5 and 20.3 µg/mL, respectively. HE-UB (IC = 67.19 µg/mL) and HE-RB (IC = 38.16 µg/mL) exhibited antileishmanial activity against promastigote forms of . In addition, HE-UB and HE-RB demonstrated cytotoxic activity against different human tumor cell lines with IC ranging from 325.40 to 425.0 µg/mL. Both GC-FID and GC-MS analyses revealed that the major component in both extracts was -caryophyllene. In short, HE-RB was more satisfactory than HE-UB in all activities under evaluation. These findings may be used as initial data for further studies of species.
