Five polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-degrading bacteria were tested for the ability to differentiate between the enantiomers of four atropisomeric PCB congeners (2,2',3,6-tetra-CB; 2,2',3,3',6-penta-CB; 2,2',3,4',6-penta-CB; and 2,2',3,5',6-penta-CB) after growth in the presence of tryptone-soytone, biphenyl, carvone, or cymene. Enantioselectivity was shown to vary with respect to strain, congen...

ObjectiveTo determine whether L-carvone increases the voltage threshold response to a noxious electrical stimulus in sheep.Study DesignProspective, blinded, randomized, crossover experimental study.AnimalsA group of six healthy adult sheep.MethodsSheep were instrumented with cranial dorsothoracic subcutaneous copper electrodes. A stimulator delivered 10 ms square wave at 50 pps starting 0.1 V 0...

Background & Aim: Medicinal plants are most valuable and useful sources as productive factors of drugs. Production and extraction of secondary metabolites have a huge economical importance in recent years. Carvone is a compound in Bunium persicum fruit and shoot and, it is one of the wide range varieties of valuable and useful secondary metabolites. Due to limited crop production, usin...

Based on the effects that allelochemicals can exert over organisms, their use as alternatives to synthetic pesticides has been proposed. To this aim, it is important understand behavior in soils readily dissipate by different routes. In work, novel granules based commercial organoclay Cloisite® 10A were prepared a new strategy for possible application of S-carvone bioherbicide, overcoming its r...

This study was aimed to explore the chemical composition and biological activities of essential oil from aerial part Mosla dianthera along with its major isolated compound, carvone. The hydro-distilled analysed by GC-MS were investigated in terms antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, herbicidal, antibacterial, anti-fungal anti-feedant properties. analysis led identification forty-nine components cont...

Terpenes, namely limonene, carvone and myrcene were polymerized with multifunctional actylates within high internal phase emulsions to yield bio based macroporous monolithic polymers-polyHIPEs.

The commercially available monoterpene carvone has been efficiently converted into the tricyclo[3.2.1.0(2.7)]octane and bicyclo[3.2.1]octane systems characteristic of some biologically active compounds. The sequence used for this transformation involves as key features an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of a 5-vinyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene and a cyclopropane ring opening.

Rotundifolone, a monoterpene isolated from the essential oil of the leaves of Mentha x villosa, is a constituent of several essential oils and known to have spasmolytic activity. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between structure and spasmolytic activity of rotundifolone and its analogues in ileum isolated from guinea-pig. Five of the seven tested analogues were found to h...
