The present study aimed to determine the chemical composition, and antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of EO extracted from the fruit of <i>Chamaecyparis obtusa</i> (Siebold and Zucc.) Endl. (family Cupressaceae), root of <i>Chrysopogon nigritanus</i> (Benth.) Veldkampis (family Poaceae) and aerial part of <i>Lavandula coronopifolia</i> Poir (family Lamiaceae). The fruit of <i>C. obtusa</i> contained only monoterpenes, mainly hydrogenated ones, with α-pinene (69.07%) as the major component. Oxygenated sesquiterpenes comprised the highest content of the <i>C. nigritanus</i> root EO with cedr-8-en-15-ol (28.69%) as tMolecules (Basel, Switzerland)1005https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9921792biostudies-literatureEssential Oils Composition and Biological Activity of <i>Chamaecyparis obtusa, Chrysopogon nigritanus</i> and <i>Lavandula coronopifolia</i> Grown Wild in Sudan.PMC9921792Zengin GRebezov MLorenzo JMShariati MAUba AIYagi SMohamed HMMEltayeb LMHfalseEssential Oils Composition and Biological Activity of <i>Chamaecyparis obtusa, Chrysopogon nigritanus</i> and <i>Lavandula coronopifolia</i> Grown Wild in Sudan.Generally, there are scant data about the constituents and eventually the biological activity of essential oils (EOs) from aromatic plants that grow naturally in Sudan.
