The effect of extracts, essential oil, and their major constituents from parsley (Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Fuss.) against the phytopathogenic fungus Collectotrichum acutatum was evaluated by the poisoned agar method. Results showed that all extracts, along with the essential oil, significantly inhibit the radial growth of C. acutatum at concentrations higher than 100 μg mL-1. The higher activity was found for the essential oil followed by the n-hexane extract. Analysis by gas chromatography with mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) of n-hexane extract and the essential oil of P. crispum showed that the major components correspond to the phenylpropanoids myristicin and parsley-apiole. Both compounds were isolated by conventional chromatographic techniques and their structures elucidated by spectroscopic
methods. Myristicin and parsley-apiole displayed a significant inhibitory effect against C. acutatum. The highest fungistatic activity was found to parsley-apiole with IC50 value of 40 μg mL-1. In conclusion, parsley may be a good source of antifungal compounds to control C. acutatum.

Se evaluó el efecto de extractos, el aceite esencial y los componentes principales del perejil (Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Fuss.) contra el hongo fitopatógeno Collectotrichum acutatum mediante el método del agar envenenado. Los resultados mostraron que todos los extractos, junto con el
aceite esencial, inhibieron significativamente el crecimiento radial de C. acutatum en concentraciones superiores a 100 μg mL-1. La mayor actividad se encontró para el aceite esencial, seguido por el extracto de n-hexano. El análisis por cromatografía de gases con espectroscopia de masas (CG-EM)
del extracto de n-hexano y el aceite esencial de P. crispum mostró que los componentes principales corresponden a los fenilpropanoides miristicina y parsley-apiol. Ambos compuestos fueron aislaron por técnicas cromatográficas convencionales y sus estructuras elucidadas por métodos espectroscópicos. La miristicina y el parsley-apiol mostraron un efecto inhibidor significativo contra C. acutatum. La actividad fungistática más alta se encontró para parsley-apiol con un valor CI50 de 40 μg mL-1. En
conclusión, el perejil puede ser una buena fuente de compuestos antimicóticos para controlar el C. acutatum.
