Abstract
The application of natural products for pest control is important in modern farming. In the present study, Artemisia santonicum L. and Artemisia lerchiana Weber essential oil and exudate profiles were determined, and their potential as inhibitors of seed germination, acetylcholinesterase, and phytopathogenic mycelium growth were evaluated. Essential oils (EO) were obtained via hydrodistillation and exudates (AE) by washing aerial parts of the species with acetone. EO and AE's composition was identified using GC/MS. Eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) and camphor were found to be the main components of A. lerchiana EO, while β-pinene, trans-pinocarveol, α-pinene, α-terpineol, and spathulenol were established as major compounds of A. santonicum EO. Strong inhibition on Lolium perenne seed germination was found at 2 µL/mL and 5 mg/mL using aqueous solutions of EO and AE, respectively. An inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase was established, with an IC50 value of 64.42 and 14.60 μg/mL for EO and 0.961, >1 mg/mL for the AE of A. lerchiana and A. santonicum, respectively. The low inhibition on the mycelium growth of studied phytopathogenic fungi was established by applying 2 µL of EO and 15 µL of 100 mg/mL of AE, with the exception of A. lerchiana AE against Botrytis cinerea. These results show that the studied EO and AE exhibited strong phytotoxic and AChE inhibitory activities, providing new data for these species.

Abstract
Both ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions of Tabebuia aurea leaves exhibited noteworthy antioxidant and nephroprotective activities against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced nephrotoxicity in rats, as evidenced by the remarkable improvements of renal serum biomarkers and histopathological features. Additionally, the ethyl acetate fraction displayed a prominent in vitro antitrypanosomal activity against Trypanosoma brucei; consequently, the leaves were subjected to LC-HR-ESI-MS metabolomic profiling to discover the constituents that possibly underlie their bioactivities. Therefore, ten metabolites were characterized, mostly dominated by flavonoids. Interestingly, two identified constituents viz., 3,9,12,15-octadecatetraenoic acid (9) and 9,11,13-octadecatrienoic acid (10) are reported firstly herein from the genus Tabebuia. Furthermore, among the dereplicated constituents, rutin (5) and kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside (6) exhibited the highest docking scores as effective antitrypanosomal compounds.
