Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 3-oxours-12-ene-27a,28-dioic acid (quafrinoic acid)
2017
The title compound, known as quafrinoic acid, is a pentacyclic triterpene isolated from Nauclea Pobeguinii. The compound is composed of five fused six-membered rings and the molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular C—H⋯O interaction, forming S6 and S8 rings.
Development of antimigraine transdermal delivery systems of pizotifen malate.
2015
Abstract The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a transdermal delivery system of pizotifen malate. Pizotifen is frequently used in the preventive treatment of migraine, but is also indicated in eating disorders. In the course of the project, the effects of chemical enhancers such as ethanol, 1,8-cineole, limonene, azone and different fatty acids (decanoic, decenoic, dodecanoic, linoleic and oleic acids) were determined, first using a pizotifen solution. Steady state flux, diffusion and partition parameters were estimated by fitting the Scheuplein equation to the data obtained. Among the chemical enhancers studied, decenoic acid showed the highest enhancement activity, which seeme…
Induction of apoptosis in a leukemia cell line by triterpene saponins from Albizia adianthifolia
2004
Abstract Triterpenoid saponins, which are present in plants and some marine animals, exert various important pharmacological effects. The present study examines the effects of adianthifoliosides A, B, and D (AdA, AdB, and AdD) together with two prosapogenins (Pro1 and Pro2) obtained from Albizia adianthifolia (Mimosaceae) on human leukemia T-cells (Jurkat cells) and on splenocytes. AdA, AdB, and AdD were found to exhibit a cytotoxic effect on Jurkat cells, whereas the prosapogenins were found to exert a lymphoproliferative effect on this cell type. Furthermore, all tested compounds were found to exert a synergistic lymphoproliferative activity with concanavalin A (ConA) on splenocytes. The …
Relevant essential oil components: a minireview on increasing applications and potential toxicity.
2021
[EN] Phenolic compounds carvacrol, thymol, eugenol, and vanillin are four of the most thoroughly investigated essential oil components given their relevant biological properties. These compounds are generally considered safe for consumption and have been used in a wide range of food and non-food applications. Significant biological properties, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, or anti-carcinogenic activity, have been described for these components. They are versatile molecules with wide-ranging potential applications whose use may substantially increase in forthcoming years. However, some in vitro and in vivo studies, and several case report…
Addition of pasture plant essential oil in milk: Influence on chemical and sensory properties of milk and cheese
2007
The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of the addition, to milk, of an essential oil (EO) obtained from the hydrodistillation of plants collected from a mountain natural pasture on the milk and cheese sensory properties. The EO was mainly composed of terpenoid compounds (67 of the 95 compounds identified) as well as ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, esters, alkanes, and benzenic compounds. In milk, the addition of this EO at the concentration of 0.1 microL/L did not influence its sensory properties, whereas at 1.0 microL/L, sensory properties were modified. In cheeses, the effect of adding EO into milk was studied in an experimental dairy plant allowing the production of small Canta…

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of (+)-Pechueloic Acid and (+)-Aciphyllene. Revision of the Structure of (+)-Aciphyllene.
2008
Abstract 1α H ,7α H ,10α H -Guaia-4,11-dien-3-one and its 1β H ,10β H diastereomer, easily obtained from (+)-dihydrocarvone, are good starting materials for the synthesis of natural guaiane derivatives. Allylic oxidation of the 1α H ,10α H isomer gave as main product its 13-hydroxy derivative and a small amount of (+)-7β-hydroxy-1α H ,10α H -guaia-4,11-dien-3-one, whereas the 1β H ,10β H diastereomer afforded selectively the (−)-7α-hydroxy-1β H ,10β H enantiomer in excellent yield. From the 13-hydroxy derivative (+)-pechueloic acid and (+)-methyl pechueloate were synthesized. Deoxygenation at C 3 of the 1β H ,10β H guaiadienone afforded a guaiadiene with the reported structure for aciphylle…
ChemInform Abstract: Sterelactones: New Isolactarane Type Sesquiterpenoids with Antifungal Activity from Stereum sp. IBWF 01060.
2009
Four members of a new family of tetracyclic sesquiterenoids possessing the isolactarane skeleton have been isolated from mycelial cultures of Stereum sp. IBWF 01060. Their structure elucidation and their antifungal activity against several plant pathogens as well as other microorganisms are reported.
ChemInform Abstract: Stereoselective Construction of the Tetracyclic Scalarane Skeleton from Carvone.
2010
The tetracyclic scalarane skeleton 22 has been constructed from (S)-(+)-carvone using two intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions as key synthetic steps.
