Antidiabetic Potential of Monoterpenes: A Case of Small Molecules Punching above Their Weight

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017
Monoterpenes belong to the terpenoids class of natural products and are bio-synthesized through the mevalonic acid pathway. Their small molecular weight coupled with high non-polar nature make them the most abundant components of essential oils which are

Characterization and Variability Analysis of Volatile Metabolites From Acer saccharum Leaves From Québec Region

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volatile secondary metabolites in plants can serve as valuable biomarkers for the plant's health, stress response, and pest or disease detection. We have investigated the volatilome of Acer saccharum (sugar maple) leaves using two complementary extraction techniques: headspace‐solid phase micro‐extraction coupled with gas chromatography‐mass ...

Clade III Synthases Add Cyclic and Linear Terpenoids to the Psilocybe Metabolome

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
The Psilocybe cubensis terpene synthases, CubB‐CubE, were investigated. Product formation assays identified CubB as a (3R,6E)‐(‐)‐nerolidol or linalool synthase, whereas CubC is a multiproduct synthase catalyzing the formation of β‐caryophyllene and other linear and cyclic sesquiterpenes/‐terpenoids.
