Techniques such as GC-MS and TLC have enabled the discovery of other pharmacologically valuable metabolites from the plant. These include achillin, 1-borneol, camphor, and coumarin, all with an interesting anti318 carcinogenic activity. On the other hand, the use of the abovementioned techniques has also permitted the discovery of five other antibacterial compounds, which are α-pinene, β-pinene, β-caryophyllene, capillin, and piperitone. Analysis of its essential oil has shown the presence of germacrene D, which has significant fumigant activity (Koul et al. 2018).

Capillin mainly resides in the volatile oil of Artemisia capillaries Thunb. Recent studies have reported that it is of potent antibacterial effect, especially a strong effect on dermatogenic filamentous bacteria that has been manifested as a bactericidal effect [33,34]. Capillin has been identified to display therapeutic functions in diabetes as well as diabetes-associated complications [35]. Artemisia capillaris Thunb. has been demonstrated to relieve LPS-triggered liver inflammation in HepG2 human hepatocarcinoma cells by blocking NF-κB pathway activation [36]. Those studies reveal that Capillin has a potential effect against liver damage through anti-inflammation and the regulation of metabolic disorders.
