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 identification of four further major constituents of the pedal gland exudate of the bontebok, Damaliscus dorcas dorcas, viz. alpha-terpineol, 2-n-heptylpyridine, m-cresol and (A)-6-dodecen-4-olide and the investigation of the stereochemistry of the double bond in (Z)-6-dodecen-4-olide by means of iterative computer analysis are described. An improved synthesis of this compound is outlined.

The honeybee disease nosemosis type C is a serious problem since its causative agent, microsporidium Nosema ceranae, is widespread among adult honey bees. Some of the feasible alternative treatments that are used to control this disease are plant extracts. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effects of essential oils of Chilean plant species, such as Cryptocarya alba, which is used ...

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 The accumulation of soil-borne pathogens is the main driving factor negative plant-soil feedbacks (NPSFs), which seriously restricts sustainable development agriculture. Using natural volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from plants or microorganisms as biofumigants an emerging strategy to alleviate NPSFs in environmentally-friendly way. Here, we identified ?-terpineol VOCs pine needles, ...
