Chemical Composition, Antiaging Activities and Molecular Docking Studies of Essential Oils from Acca sellowiana (Feijoa)

Heba A. S. El-Nashar et al.

Summary: This study investigated the chemical composition of essential oils from feijoa leaves and stems and their potential as natural anti-aging agents. The oils showed inhibitory effects against different enzymes and exhibited valuable binding interactions. Caryophyllene oxide and alpha-zingiberene showed promising interactions with acetylcholinesterase, while linalool, tau-cadinol, and spathulenol had strong binding energy to collagenase and elastase. This study provides scientific evidence for the use of feijoa essential oils in anti-aging formulations and as an adjuvant for Alzheimer's disease prophylaxis.
