the affinity of low density lipoprotein (ldl) to its receptor is very important, because most of ldl-uptake pathway is done by the ldl receptor and the change in size of ldl particle and the modification in its components may affects the ldl affinity for its receptor. in this study, the effects of lipophilic agents such as vitamin e and seven volatile oils: anethol, eugenol, geraniol, limonene,...

Agastache spp. are used as ornamental plants for their pleasant aroma and the different colors of flowers. Nowadays, edible flowers have become attractive nutraceutical properties. Post-harvest treatment appears a crucial point to avoid impairment compounds aroma, so treatments were tested analyze effect on bioactive metabolites volatilome. Results indicated that freeze-drying was best solution...

Genus Mentha is represented by 15 taxa in Turkey, most common being Mentha longifolia, M. suaveolens, M. pulegium and M. aquatica. All are perennial herbs, flowering in summer and reproducing with the help of seeds as well as vegetatively. These taxa are widely used by locals as condiment as well as for the preparation of mint tea aginst flue, lung and stomach disorders, whooping cough, and as ...

It was shown earlier that the monoterpene ketone, piperitenone (I) is one of the major metabolites of R-(+)-pulegone, a potent hepatotoxin. In the present studies, the metabolic disposition of piperitenone (I) was examined in rats. Piperitenone (I) was administered orally (400 mg/kg of the b. wt./day) to rats for 5 days. The following urinary metabolites were isolated and identified by various ...

The first total syntheses of the Lycopodium alkaloids (+)-nankakurine A (2), (+)-nankakurine B (3), and the originally purported structure 1 of nankakurine A were accomplished. The syntheses of 2 and 3 feature a demanding intramolecular azomethine imine cycloaddition as the key step for generating the octahydro-3,5-ethanoquinoline moiety and installing the correct relative configuration at the ...
