Terpenes and sterols are complex molecules synthesized by equally complex biosynthetic pathways. Recent progress in using the tools of genetics, molecular genetics and genetic engineering to dissect triterpene metabolism in the cytosol,... more
The chromatographic separation of a methylene chloride extract of Artemisia rubripes led to the isolation of a new sesquiterpene lactone (3), together with four known compounds, a coumarin (2) and three terpenes (1, 4, and 5). Their... more
Osteoarthritis is a progressive joint disease and a major cause of disability for which no curative therapies are yet available. To identify compounds with potential anti-osteoarthritic properties, in this study, we screened one... more
The oral availability of many drugs metabolised by the enzyme cytochrome P(450) 3A4 (CYP3A4) is increased if co-administered with grapefruit juice. Extracts from grapefruit peel have also demonstrated inhibitory activity and, during... more
Five new meroterpenoids, purpurogenolides A-E (1-5), and four known metabolites (6-9) were isolated from the solid substrate fermentation cultures of the fungus Penicillium purpurogenum MHz 111. The structures of the new meroterpenoids... more
Fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) are prolific producers of structurally diverse terpenoid compounds. Classes of terpenoids identified in fungi include the sesqui-, di- and triterpenoids. Biosynthetic pathways and enzymes to terpenoids... more
ChemInform is a weekly Abstracting Service, delivering concise information at a glance that was extracted from about 200 leading journals. To access a ChemInform Abstract of an article which was published elsewhere, please select a “Full... more
Thermal effects occurring in ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and low-density supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) have a negative impact on chromatographic performance, because peaks broaden and get distorted. A... more
ABSTRACTThis study examined the effect of subinhibitoryMelaleuca alternifolia(tea tree) essential oil on the development of antibiotic resistance inStaphylococcus aureusandEscherichia coli. Frequencies of single-step antibiotic-resistant... more
Eleven essential oils (EOs) were evaluated for their antibacterial properties, against Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) and E. coli O157:H7. EOs were introduced into Brain Heart Infusion agar (BHI) (15ml) at a concentration of 0.25... more
The biological activity of essential oils and their major components is well documented. Essential oils such as oregano and cinnamon are known for their effect against bacteria, fungi, and even viruses. The mechanism of action is proposed... more
Hotrienol (3, 7-dimethyl-1, 5, 7-octatrien-3-ol, II) is the principal aroma component detected by headspace analysis in leatherwood (Eucryphia lucida) honey. It arises from the dehydration of 2, 6-dimethyl-3, 7-octadiene-2, 6-diol (I),... more
Recent achievements have been made in the metabolic engineering of plant secondary metabolism. Various pathways have been altered using genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes or genes encoding regulatory proteins. In addition, antisense... more
This essay is a comprehensive review on recent studies that related directly with cannabis essential oils. Five journal articles with various of application fields, different locations, in-dept analysis of cannabis chemical compounds,... more
For several decades, there has been interest in using the skin as a port of entry into the body for the systemic delivery of therapeutic agents. However, the upper layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, poses a barrier to the entry of... more
