Essential Oil of Leaves and Fruits ofAthamanta siculaL. (Apiaceae)
2003
Abstract The essential oils obtained separately from the leaves and the fruits of Athamanta sicula L. collected in Sicily were studied by capillary GC/MS. The main component in the leaf oil was myristicin (97.6%), while β-pinene (2.8%), β-phellandrene (5.8%), δ-3-carene (22.6%), terpinolene (20.5%) and myristicin (41.3%) were the main components of the fruit oil.
Stereochemistry of terpene derivatives. Part 7: Novel rigidified amino acids from (+)-3-carene designed as chiral GABA analogues
2010
Abstract Several novel cyclopropyl-rigidified γ- and δ-amino acids 3 – 4 have been prepared starting from monoterpene (+)-3-carene 2 . These compounds are proposed as chiral analogues of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) 1 and are expected to be of interest as potential inhibitors of GABA receptors.
The chemical composition of essential oil from Seseli tortuosum subsp. tortuosum and S. tortuosum subsp. maritimum (Apiaceae) aerial parts growing in…
2022
Seseli L. genus, belonging to the Apiaceae family, includes more than eighty taxa, mainly growing in Europe and Asia. Due to the several biological properties, species of this genus have been largely investigated, showing to be a rich source of coumarins, as well as, of essential oils with anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, cytotoxic, etc. properties. In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oils from aerial parts of Sicilian accessions of Seseli tortuosum subsp. tortuosum and S. tortuosum subsp. maritimum were analysed by GC-MS. No one report has been previously published on the subsp. maritimum. The results showed the presence, in both oils, of large quantity…
