Objective(s):Dependence and tolerance to opioid analgesics are major problems limiting their clinical application. a-Terpineol is a monoterpenoid alcohol with neuroprotective effects which is found in several medicinal plants such as Myrtus communis, Laurus nobilis, and Stachys byzantina. It has been shown that some of these medicinal plants such as S. byzantina attenuate dependence and toleran...

In total, 29 compounds from sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua L.) oil were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The five active components were D-camphor, linalool, cineole, α-terpineol, and L(-)-borneol. The effectiveness of A. annua oil, as well as d-camphor, linalool, cineole, α-terpineol, and L(-)-borneol, as fumigants, contact insecticides, and repellents, were tested on th...

Plant oils and oil components were screened in vitro for antibacterial and antifungal activity by disc diffusion method. Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of oils (% v/v) against bacteria and fungi were determined by agar dilution method. Results showed that potential antimicrobial activity was demonstrated by geranium oil, geraniol, and terpineol. These oils and oil components were acti...

objective(s): cerebral ischemia is often associated with cognitive impairment. oxidative stress has a crucial role in the memory deficit following ischemia/reperfusion injury. α-terpineol is a monoterpenoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. this study was carried out to investigate the effect of α-terpineol against memory impairment following cerebral ischemia in rats. materials a...

the composition of the essential oils of nepeta crispa willd. and n. menthoides boiss. and buhse (lamiaceae) was investigated by means of gas chromatography (gc) and gc- mass spectrometery (ms). 1, 8-cineole was the most abundant component in oils: nepeta crispa (71%) and n. menthoides (41.1%). in the oil of n. crispa, b-pinene (5%) and d-terpineol (4.1%) were found to be the major constituents...

Citrus bacterial canker (CBC) caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), is the most devastating of the citrus diseases worldwide. During our study, we found that Essential oils (EOs) of some citrus cultivars are effective on Xcc. Therefore, it prompted us to determine the plant metabolites responsible for the antibacterial properties. We obtained EOs from some locally cultivated citrus by...

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 ...
