Evaluation of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of essential oils from Carum copticum seed and Ferula assafoetida latex.
J. Food Sci. 78(2) , T356-61, (2013) Carum copticum and Ferula assafoetida have several medicinal properties including antispasmodic, carminative, sedative, analgesic, and antiseptic. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), hydrogen peroxide (H(2) O(2) ), and thiobarbitur... |

Organ accumulation in mice after inhalation of single or mixed essential oil compounds.
Phytother Res. 27(2) , 306-11, (2013) Essential oils are composed of multiple components. It is thought that the effect of essential oils is due to specific component ratios, which may differ from the original ratio when the essential oil is absorbed. However, very little detailed research exists... |

Sensitive monitoring of monoterpene metabolites in human urine using two-step derivatisation and positive chemical ionisation-tandem mass spectrometry.
Anal. Chim. Acta 793 , 26-36, (2013) A gas chromatographic-positive chemical ionisation-tandem mass spectrometric (GC-PCI-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of 10 oxidative metabolites of the monoterpenoid hydrocarbons α-pinene, (R)-limonene, and Δ(3)-carene ((+)-3-carene) in human... |

Electrophysiological and behavioral responses of the bark beetle Dendroctonus rhizophagus to volatiles from host pines and conspecifics.
J. Chem. Ecol. 38(5) , 512-24, (2012) The bark beetle Dendroctonus rhizophagus is endemic to northwestern Mexico where it kills immature pines < 3 m tall. We report the first investigation of the chemical ecology of this pest of forest regeneration. We used GC-EAD to assess olfactory sensitivity ... |

Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the volatile fractions from leaves and flowers of the wild Iraqi Kurdish plant Prangos peucedanifolia FENZL.
Chem. Biodivers. 10(2) , 274-80, (2013) The volatile fractions isolated from Prangos peucedanifolia FENZL leaves and flowers were investigated for their phytochemical composition and biological properties. Flower and leaf hydrodistillation afforded 3.14 and 0.49 g of yellowish oils in 1.25 and 0.41... |

Chemical composition and biological activities of soldiers of the Brazilian termite species, Nasutitermes macrocephalus (Isoptera: Natutitermitinae).
Nat. Prod. Commun. 8(1) , 69-74, (2013) The defensive secretion of the frontal gland from termite soldiers is a mixture of monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and diterpenes, the latter being the most representative. Analyses of the dichloromethane extract from soldiers of the Brazilian termite, Nasutiter... |

Analysis of volatile components, fatty acids, and phytosterols of Abies koreana growing in Poland.
Nat. Prod. Commun. 8(9) , 1297-300, (2013) Extracts and essential oils from seeds as well as essential oils from cone scales and needles with twigs of the Abies koreana population were studied. An analysis of Korean fir essential oils allowed us to determine 147 volatile compounds. The identified comp... |

Protective effects of alpha-pinene in mice with cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis.
Life Sci. 91(17-18) , 866-71, (2012) Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a complicated inflammatory disease that has an unknown underlying pathogenesis. Because alpha-pinene can modulate inflammation, we examined whether alpha-pinene plays a role in AP.Alpha-pinene was administered intraperitoneally 1h p... |

Plasma membrane potential depolarization and cytosolic calcium flux are early events involved in tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) plant-to-plant communication.
Plant Sci. 196 , 93-100, (2012) Tomato plants respond to herbivory by emitting volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are released into the surrounding atmosphere. We analyzed the tomato herbivore-induced VOCs and tested the ability of tomato receiver plants to detect tomato donor volatil... |

Functional genomics reveals that a compact terpene synthase gene family can account for terpene volatile production in apple.
Plant Physiol. 161(2) , 787-804, (2013) Terpenes are specialized plant metabolites that act as attractants to pollinators and as defensive compounds against pathogens and herbivores, but they also play an important role in determining the quality of horticultural food products. We show that the gen... |
