Synthesis and biological evaluation of (+)-labdadienedial, derivatives and precursors from (+)-sclareolide
2010
Labdadienedial and a series of C15,C16-functionalized derivatives were synthesized from commercial (+)-sclareolide and evaluated for their cytotoxic, antimycotic, and antiviral activities. Their precursors were similarly evaluated.
Chemical composition and anticancer activity of essential oils of Mediterranean sage (Salvia officinalis L.) grown in different environmental conditi…
2013
Salvia officinalis L. can be found worldwide and its leaves are commonly used as ingredient in food industry. Sage essential oil is applied in the treatment of a range of diseases and has been shown to possess different biological activities. The objectives of our research were to study the effects of environment on crop, chemical composition and anticancer activity on S. officinalis essential oil. Sage was cultivated at eighteen experimental sites in south-central Italy (Molise) in different growing environments. The essential oils (S1-S18), extracted by hydrodistillation, were analyzed by GC and CG/MS. Results show that the main components were α-thujone, camphor, borneol, γ-muurolene and…
Synthesis of β-methylfurolabdanes from (+)-sclareolide
2002
An efficient synthesis of the methylfurolabdane 3 from (+)-sclareolide (6) via the hydroxyalkenes 12 is reported. Alternative modes of cyclization of 12 allowed the synthesis of methyldihydrofuran derivatives 4 and 5 and methyltetrahydrofuran derivatives 15. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
