Chemical profiling the sage essential oils (SEOs) from wild and cultivated (shaded or non-shaded) plants has been investigated. The yield of SEOs (3.51 mL/100 g) was higher than that plants(shaded plants: 3.20 g non-shaded 2.56 g).The main components SEO were cis-thujone (43.2%), camphor (17.6%), 1,8-cineole (13.8%), veridiflorol (3.8%) borneol (3.4%).The chemical composition included > 1,8-...

Background: Only a few drugs are currently approved to treat COVID-19. CVO PLUS CURATIF (CVO+C) is capsule formulation of artemisinin and 1,8-cineole, two plant-derived compounds with anti-inflammatory antiviral properties in vitro. These have been repurposed for potential use as an oral COVID-19 treatment.

This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition of steam distillate essential oil and corresponding hydrolate obtained from S. officinalis grown in Serbia, as well influence weather conditions (temperature precipitations) on their profiles. Furthermore, antimicrobial activity was investigated vitro. The main compounds were cis-thujone, followed by camphor, trans-thujone, 1,8-cineole, w...

The chemical variations of the essential oil from the aerial parts of Laurus nobilis L. (Lauraceae) have been studied. Plant material has been harvested at each phenological status (vegetative, before anthesis, full flowering and seed-bearing). The oils were obtained by hydrodistillation of the air-dried samples. Analysis by GC and GC-MS of the essential oils has allowed to identify 39 compound...

Computational chemistry approaches for studying the formation of terpenes/terpenoids in wines are presented, using five particular terpenes/terpenoids (1,8-cineole, α-ylangene, botrydial, rotundone, and the wine lactone), volatile compounds (or their precursors) found in wine and/or wine grapes, as representative examples. Through these examples, we show how modern computational quantum chemist...
