In the title compound, C(30)H(46)O(3), an isolation product of Pistacia integerima Stewart, the five-membered ring is nearly in the envelope form. A 6-carb-oxy-hept-5-en-2-yl group is attached to the five-membered ring. An S(6) ring motif is formed due to intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form carboxyl-ate dimers with R(2) (2)(8) ring m...

In a male-based revision of ants of the subfamily Amblyoponinae from the Southwest Indian Ocean islands (SWIO: Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Reunion, and Seychelles), we explore and reconsider male morphological characters that distinguish genera within the group. Our investigation redefines Amblyopone Erichson sensu Brown (1960), here referred to as Amblyopone sensu lato, into three...

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (E)-1-(2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one], C(17)H(16)O(4), has an aromatic ring at both ends of the -CH= CH-C(=O)- fragment with the -CH=CH- bond in a trans configuration. The phenyl ring is nearly coplanar with this fragment [dihedral angle 4.8 (3) °] as is the hy-droxy-ldimeth-oxy-lphenyl unit [dihedral angle 6.3 (3) °]. The hy-droxy g...

Although the chemical composition and biological properties of some species of the genus Pistacia has been investigated, studies on hull essential oil of Pistacia vera L. variety Bronte (HEO) are currently lacking. In this work, we have carried out an in-depth phytochemical profile elucidation by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, and an evaluation of antioxidant scavenging ...

Principal component analysis (PCA) multivariate analysis was applied to study the cytotoxic activity of essential oils from various species of the Pistacia genus on human tumor cell lines. In particular, the cytotoxic activity of essential oils obtained from P. lentiscus, P. lentiscus var. chia (mastic gum), P. terebinthus, P. vera, and P. integerrima, was screened on three human adenocarcinoma...
