A comparative study of volatiles, antioxidant activity, phytotoxic activity, as well as in silico molecular docking and ADMET study, was conducted for essential oils from three Vitex species, viz., V. agnus-castus , V. negundo , and V. trifolia . Essential oils (OEs) extracted by hydrodistillation were subjected to compositional analysis using GC-MS. A total number of 37, 45, and 43 components were identified in V. agnus-castus , V. negundo , and V. trifolia , respectively. The antioxidant activity of EOs, assessed using different radical-scavenging (DPPH, H2 O2 and NO), reducing power, and metal chelating assays, were found to be significant as compared with those of the standards...
