QSAR study of mosquito repellents from terpenoid with a six-member-ring.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 18 , 2854-9, (2008)

A new class of low-toxicity mosquito repellents is synthesized from alpha- and beta-pinene in terpenoid compounds and preliminary biological tests show promising mosquito repellency. Statistical modeling is built using Codessa in order to reveal the quantitat...

Fumigant insecticidal activity and repellent effect of five essential oils and seven monoterpenes on first-instar nymphs of Rhodnius prolixus.

J. Med. Entomol. 46(3) , 511-5, (2009)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the fumigant and repellent activity of five essential oils (from eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, mint, and orange oil) and seven monoterpenes (eucalyptol, geraniol, limonene, linalool, menthone, linalyl acetate, and menth...

Chemical composition of essential oils of Thymus and Mentha species and their antifungal activities.

Molecules 14(1) , 238-49, (2009)

The potential antifungal effects of Thymus vulgaris L., Thymus tosevii L., Mentha spicata L., and Mentha piperita L. (Labiatae) essential oils and their components against 17 micromycetal food poisoning, plant, animal and human pathogens are presented. The es...

Comparative analysis of some active principles of herb plants by GC/MS.

Talanta 53(1) , 253-62, (2000)

A rapid extraction procedure for fingerprint chromatogram of different types of Mentha piperita L. (Labiatae family) is presented. The extracts were analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The main volatile compounds i...

Ambulation-promoting effect of peppermint oil and identification of its active constituents.

Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 69(3-4) , 383-90, (2001)

Various plant-derived essential oils (EOs) have traditionally been used in the treatment of mental disorders, despite a lack of scientific evidence. In a previous study, we demonstrated that certain EOs possess behavioral effects, a finding that supports our ...
