2022	Chemical profiling of nonpolar compounds of Onopardum acanthium using GCMASS	Pharmacognosy Journal
The use of medicinal plants increase in escalating fashion due to the medical importance and the activity of secondary metabolite the plants contain. Also the high adverse effect profile of the synthetic molecule and the difficulty and cost of synthesis, all of that make the focus and research on the discovery of natural product and compounds of natural origin. 1, 2 One of these plants are the onopardum acanthium. This plant has tremendous effect on ecological system and other plant distribution. 3 Onopardum acanthium grow in harsh environment, compete with other plants in growth with production of bulky amounts of seeds, and can tolerate challenges in growth and even affecting other plants growth. 4 In addition, because of that onopardum acanthium can produce differ and even new compounds in the new averments that’s growing in. 5 There is specific phenomena called alleopathey when other organism like plant, bacteria or fungi can introduce compound, which in turn affect in the ecologic system and the growth of other organism. 6, 7 Onopardum acanthium distributed mainly in southern Europe and south Asia, but it’s considered as invasive plant which grow and distributed in other area other than its original home, and even considered as risk and threatening to other plant and ecological system. 8, 9 Onopardum acanthium considered biennial, but it can turn into annual or a short-lived perennial, reproducing almost entirely by cypselae (fruits) that it can produce up to 50,000. 10
