Action Mechanism of Essential Oils or Their Components Against Pathogenic Bacteria: Literature Review. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Essential oils (EOs), derived from medicinal and aromatic plants, are natural mixtures of volatile, oily compounds with varying compositions and antibacterial mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms of EOs and their components (EOCs) is essential for predicting their impacts on various microbes and their interactions with antibiotics.

Synthesis of hemiterpene 1-bromo-3-methyl-2-butene derivatives [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2021
Hemiterpene 1-bromo-2-methyl-2-butene (prenyl bromide) is widely used as a prenyl source for various organic synthesis. One of them is the development of synthetic fragrances for the perfume industry which is growing rapidly for daily consumption. Based on our literature study, most fragrances contain terpenes.

A new hemiterpene glycoside from the ripe tomatoes

Natural Product Research, 2014
A new hemiterpene glycoside (1) was isolated from ripe tomatoes (the fruit of Lycopersicon esculentum, Solanaceae) along with eight known compounds. The chemical structure of 1 was determined to be 2-methylbutan-1-ol β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-d-glucopyranoside, based on spectroscopic data as well as chemical evidence.
