Effects of erucin on inflammatory mediators and antioxidant enzymes’ expression in TNF-α-stimulated human oral epithelial cells [PDF]

Immunopharmacology and immunotoxicology, 2023
Objectives Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease induced by periodontal disease-causing bacteria. It has been shown that excessive immune response against bacteria is involved in periodontal tissue destruction including alveolar bone resorption.

Monoterpene antifungal activities: evaluating geraniol, citronellal, and linalool on Candida biofilm, host inflammatory responses, and structure–activity relationships [PDF]

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Introduction: Despite the rising concern with fungal resistance, a myriad of molecules has yet to be explored. Geraniol, linalool, and citronellal are monoterpenes with the same molecular formula (C10H18O), however, neither the effect of these compounds ...
