Combinatorial QSAR of Ambergris Fragrance Compounds

A combinatorial quantitative structure-activity relationships (Combi-QSAR) approach has been developed and applied to a data set of 98 ambergris fragrance compounds with complex stereochemistry. The Combi-QSAR approach explores all possible combinations of different independent descriptor collections and various individual correlation methods to obtain statistically significant models with high...

Human olfactory receptor responses to odorants

Although the human olfactory system is capable of discriminating a vast number of odors, we do not currently understand what chemical features are encoded by olfactory receptors. In large part this is due to a paucity of data in a search space covering the interactions of hundreds of receptors with billions of odorous molecules. Of the approximately 400 intact human odorant receptors, only 10% ...

Studies Related to Melamine Incident

In September 2008, melamine contamination in milk and infant formulae raised global concerns about food safety in mainland China. The contamination resulted in an epidemic of renal calculi, especially among infants and children. According to a report from the Chinese Ministry of Health, 294 000 infants had been affected by the end of November 2008. More than 50 000 infants had been hospitalised...

Studies Related to Ozonated Oils

This study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic effects of topical ozonated olive oil on acute cutaneous wound healing in a guinea pig model and also to elucidate its therapeutic mechanism. After creating full-thickness skin wounds on the backs of guinea pigs by using a 6 mm punch biopsy, we examined the wound healing effect of topically applied ozonated olive oil (ozone group), as compar...
