Antimicrobial activity of Vepris salicifolia leaf essential oil and δ-cadinene: in vitro evaluation and in silico mechanistic insights into δ-cadinene
The findings of this study indicate that V. salicifolia leaf EO, particularly δ-cadinene, represents a promising source of antimicrobial agents for future medicinal applications, Nevertheless, the predicted molecular mechanisms of δ-cadinene should be validated through enzyme inhibition assays.
