Predictions of the Biological Effects of Several Acyclic Monoterpenes as Chemical Constituents of Essential Oils Extracted from Plants [PDF]

Molecules, 2023
Acyclic terpenes are biologically active natural products having applicability in medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics and other practices. Consequently, humans are exposed to these chemicals, and it is necessary to assess their pharmacokinetics profiles and ...

The behavioral sensitivity of mice to acyclic, monocyclic, and bicyclic monoterpenes [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Monoterpenes are a large class of naturally occurring fragrant molecules. These chemicals are commonly used in olfactory studies to survey neural activity and probe the behavioral limits of odor discrimination.

Update on Monoterpenes from Red Macroalgae: Isolation, Analysis, and Bioactivity

Marine Drugs, 2019
Macroalgae produce a wide range of monoterpenes as secondary metabolites of mevalonate (MVA) and/or methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway (often including haloperoxidase action).

Acyclic halogenated monoterpenes from marine macroalgae: Estimated atmospheric lifetimes, potential degradation products, and their atmospheric impacts

Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa, 2022
The selected acyclic halogenated monoterpenes derived from red macroalgae are investigated in terms of their isolation, their reactions with oxidants (ozone, OH radical) and the impacts of the first-generation oxidation products on the atmosphere.

Plant essential oil targets TRPV3 for skin renewal and structural mechanism of action [PDF]

Nature Communications
Our skin safeguards the body homeostasis for health and also provides psychological consolation in social life. Natural essential oils are widely used for skin maintenance, while the molecular target and mechanism of action remain largely unknown.

Monoterpenes and Sesquiterpenes of Essential Oils from Psidium Species and Their Biological Properties

Molecules, 2021
Psidium (Myrtaceae) comprises approximately 266 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Psidium taxa have great ecological, economic, and medicinal relevance due to their essential oils’ chemical diversity and biological ...

Cyclization mechanism of monoterpenes catalyzed by monoterpene synthases in dipterocarpaceae

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2023
Monoterpenoids are typically present in the secretory tissues of higher plants, and their biosynthesis is catalyzed by the action of monoterpene synthases (MTSs). However, the knowledge about these enzymes is restricted in a few plant species.

Flexibility unleashed in acyclic monoterpenes: conformational space of citronellal revealed by broadband rotational spectroscopy.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2016
Conformational flexibility is intrinsically related to the functionality of biomolecules. Elucidation of the potential energy surface is thus a necessary step towards understanding the mechanisms for molecular recognition such as docking of small organic

Secondary Organic Aerosol from OH Oxidation of Acyclic Terpenes Is More Viscous and Less Volatile than That of Their Cyclic Analogs. [PDF]

ACS EST Air
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), a dominant source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) globally, exhibit emission rates and compositions that are plant species-specific and vary with environmental stressors. A common outcome of plant stress is
