摘要

Our study focused on the investigation of the antifungal efficacy of the essential oil derived from the clove plant and its major constituent, eugenol, against a fungal strain “Fusarium proliferatum”. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and the main compound eugenol, was isolated. The evaluation of the antifungal potential was carried out by the dilution method, to determine the evolution of the mycelial growth in contact with the essential oil and with the chemical fungicide “Agriconazole” used as a reference control. The essential oil showed significant efficacy at 100 µl ml−1; whereas, eugenol, and the reference control, showed a complete inhibitory effect at 50 μl ml−1. The in silico study including molecular docking, DFT and ADMET analysis was conducted to confirm the in vitro assay. Molecular docking results indicate that eugenol indeed functions as a potent inhibitor of Trichodiene Synthase for Fusarium sp, thus elucidating its fungicidal activity.
