Abstract

From the fresh leaves of the Eupatorium odoratum L, an essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation. The essential oil of Eupatorium odoratum L. was extracted in Buon Ma Thuot City using steam distillation, with a plant material to water ratio of 1:10, carried out over 2. 5 hours at a temperature range of 60–80°C. The resulting essential oil was pale yellow in color, with a yield of approximately 0. 19%. In addition, we also tested that anti-α-glucosidase activity of Eupatorium odoratum L essential oil. The essential oil also exhibited strong anti-α-glucosidase activities with an IC50 value of 9. 05 ± 0. 61mg/mL. These findings underscore the potential of Eupatorium odoratum L essential oil as a natural source for pharmaceutical applications.
