Activity-guided fractionation of the M. scandens extract led to the isolation of the highly allelopathic active compound mikanolide, with minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.083 µM mL(-1). As M. scandens is a highly abundant invasive plant in Sri Lanka and other South Asian countries, this plant could be developed as an environment friendly natural herbicide, either in crude form as shredded plant material or as pure mikanolide, which is the major constituent (∼0.02%) in the plant.","tracks":[{"project":"CHEMDNER-training-test","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":387,"end":397},"obj":"TRIVIAL"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":689,"end":699},"obj":"TRIVIAL"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"CHEMDNER-training-test"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"CHEMDNER-training-test"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"CHEMDNER-training-test","color":"#ec93bf","default":true}]}]}}
