The chemical composition of the essential oil from Juniperus formosana leaves and its contact and repellent activities against Tribolium castaneum and Liposcelis bostrychophila adults were investigated. The essential oil of J. formosana leaves was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. A total of 28 components were identified and the main compounds in the essential oil were α-pine...

The aim of this research was to determine the chemical constituents and bioactivity of the essential oil derived from Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd. rhizomes against the cigarette beetle Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera Anobiidae) adults. The essential oil of A. galanga obtained by hydrodistillation was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main components of the ...

Abstract This review aimed to assess the antioxidant properties of safrole, myristicin, and terpineol from Myristica fragrans Houtt. Safrole exhibited high cytotoxic activities against numerous cancer cell lines also shown able suppress tumor angiogenesis. Myristicin is increase activity glutathione peroxidase (GPX), reductase (GR) or glutathione-disulfide-reductase (GSR), superoxide dismutase ...

This in vitro study aimed at estimating the disappearance rates of 14 terpenes and terpenoids after 24-h incubation with mixed bacteria from caprine rumens. These compounds comprised nine monoterpene hydrocarbons (δ-3-carene, p-cymene, β-myrcene, (E)- and (Z)-β-ocimene, α-phellandrene, α-terpinene, γ-terpinene and α-terpinolene), four oxygenated monoterpenes ((E)- and (Z)-linalool oxide, 4-terp...

Terpinoller monoterpen bileşikler olup, birçok çalışmada antioksidan özelliklerinden dolayı antikanser, antikonvülsant ve antiülser gibi biyolojik etkileri ortaya konulmuştur. Araştırmanın amacını, LPS’in karaciğer hücrelerine uygulanarak oluşturulan yangı modelinde, α-terpineol’ün antiinflamatuar antiapoptotik biyofonksiyonlarının araştırılması oluşturmuştur. Denemede insan orijinli HepG2 (ATC...

Hydrodistilled leaves of Chenopodiumalbum yielded 0.64 % v/w of essential oil. GC and GC/MS analyses of the oil revealed that the bulk of the oil was constituted by aromatic compounds (60.1 %). The abundant constituents of the oil were: p- cymene (40.9 %), ascaridole (15.5 %), pinane-2-ol (9.9 %), α-pinene (7.0 %), β-pinene (6.2 %) and α-terpineol (6.2 %). The oil displayed strong anti-inflamma...

The compositions of essential oils (EOs) from Spanish marjoram (Thymus mastichina L.) grown in several bioclimatic zones of Murcia (SE Spain) were studied to determine their absolute and relative concentrations using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 1,8-Cineole and linalool were the main components, followed by α-pinene, β-pinene and α-terpineol. (-)-Linalool, (+)-α-terpineol and (+)-α-pin...

Objective: here was investigated the potential of phytoconstituents as cinnamaldehyde and α-terpineol denture cleansers, which evaluated antifungal activity, also their effect on color change poly(methyl)methacrylate (PMMA). Methodology: Candida albicans biofilms were formed PMMA specimens exposed a 10 minutes daily treatment with (10 mg/ mL), NaCl 0.9%, NaClO 1%. Biofilms collected, then analy...
