Deformation induced by ethanol substitution in normal and tension wood of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) and simarouba (Simarouba amara Aubl.)

Wood Science and Technology, 2009
Wood deformation in the longitudinal and tangential directions induced by ethanol substitution and oven-drying was measured in normal wood (NW) and tension wood (TW) of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) (TW with G-fibres) and simarouba (Simarouba amara Aubl.) (TW without G-fibres).

Simarouba amara extract increases human skin keratinocyte differentiation

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1996
An aqueous extract of Simarouba amara was studied for its activity on the differentiation of human skin keratinocytes. Submerged and air-exposed treated keratinocyte cultures displayed a more highly differentiated histoarchitecture, with presence of ultrastructural differentiated elements, than untreated controls. Immunohistochemistry of involucrin and

Tirucallane, Apotirucallane, and Octanorapotirucallane Triterpenes of Simarouba amara

Journal of Natural Products, 2006
A chemical investigation of the bark of Simarouba amara, collected in Barbados, resulted in the isolation of six new triterpenes (3-8), in addition to two known compounds, 3-oxatirucalla-7, 24-dien-23-ol (1) and niloticin (2). Compound 3 is a tirucallane triterpene, while compounds 4-7 are apotirucallane derivatives containing an epsilon-lactone in ...

Investigations on Simarouba glauca Dc. in El Salvador

Economic Botany, 1959
The use of the kernels of Simarouba glauca as a potential source of vegetable oil was first noted in 1939. These kernels produce 62 per cent edible oil under commercial extraction procedures. The trees are polygamo-dioecious, thus creating a selection problem for commercial plantings.
