Herbicidal Activity of Peumus boldus and Drimys winterii Essential Oils from Chile

Molecules, 2011
The essential oil composition of Peumus boldus and Drimys winterii was analyzed by means of capillary GC-FID and GC-MS. More than 96% of the total oil components (43 and 54 compounds, respectively) were identified, with ascaridole (51.17 ± 9.51), p ...

Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.

Ameliorative Effect of Linalool in Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity: The Role of HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB and Nrf2/HO1 Pathways

Biomolecules, 2020
Background: The monoterpene linalool is a well-known essential oil component produced by several aromatic plants. Cisplatin is a widely used anticancer drug that produces many side effects, particularly nephrotoxicity.

Influence of crosslinker on the properties of terpene‐based poly(high internal phase emulsion)s

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Myrcene was polymerized and crosslinked with hydrophilic monomeric and oligomeric dimethacrylates within high internal phase emulsions to produce hierarchically porous bio‐based poly(high internal phase emulsion)s with tuned morphology and mechanical properties.

Robust β‐myrcene block copolymer elastomeric vitrimers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Myrcene‐based vitrimeric elastomers were compared: statistical (poly(styrene‐stat‐myrcene‐stat‐AAEMA)] versus ‘hard–soft’ diblock (poly(styrene)‐block‐poly(myrcene‐co‐AAEMA)). The diblock's ability to anchor the glassy poly(styrene) blocks in a self‐assembled microstructure was effective – leading to four times higher tensile stress and ten times ...

Kinetics of anionic polymerization of β‐myrcene in hydrocarbon solvents

Polymer International, EarlyView.
The process of anionic polymerization of β‐myrcene in hydrocarbon solvents was examined by kinetic studies and quantum chemical calculations. Abstract The kinetics of anionic polymerization of β‐myrcene initiated by sec‐butyllithium were examined in saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon solvents, i.e. cyclohexane, cyclohexene, 4‐vinylcyclohexene and dl‐
