Figure 5

GC-MS fingerprint of A. hispidum. The most abundant secondary metabolites were identified as ethyl hexadecanoate (AH-HEX), 9(Z)-octadecenamide (AH-DCM), and 2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-3H-cyclopenta[c]pyridazin-3-one (AH-EA/AH-AQ), with retention times of approximately 14.53, 19.63 and 8.11 mins, respectively. AH-HEX = hexane fraction, AH-DCM = dichloromethane fraction, AH-EA = ethyl acetate fraction, AH-AQ = aqueous fraction.
