Valorization of Pimenta racemosa Essential Oils and Extracts: GC-MS and LC-MS Phytochemical Profiling and Evaluation of Helicobacter pylori Inhibitory Activity.

ABSTRACT: Pimenta racemosa is a commonly known spice used in traditional medicine to treat several ailments. In this study, comprehensive phytochemical profiling of the essential oils and methanol extracts of P. racemosa leaves and stems was performed, alongside assessing their potential Helicobacter pylori inhibitory activity in vitro and in silico. The essential oils were chemically profiled via GC-MS. Moreover, the methanol extracts were profiled using HPLC-PDA-ESI-MS/MS. The antibacterial activity of the essential oils and methanol extracts against H. pylori was determined by adopting the micro-well dilution method. GC-MS analysis unveiled the presence of 21 constituents, where eugenol represented the major component (57.84%) and (59.76%) in both leaves and stems of e
