Antiplasmodial effects of various concentrations of CSEO and its main components, methyl isothiocyanate, hexadecanoic acid, and limonene, against chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum K1 strain based on the Malstat method. Among the main components of CSEO, the highest to the lowest antiplasmodial effect was observed in methyl isothiocyanate > hexadecanoic acid > and limonene. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3).
