Objective: To evaluate the possible antidepressant effects of alpha-terpineol in rodents. Material and Methods: Depression levels were analyzed by comparing total immobility time presented animals experimental groups test session, using Forced Swimming Test Tail Suspension Test. The parameters locomotion (central, peripheral total) motor coordination evaluated Open Field Rota Rod Test, respecti...

Hydrodistilled leaves of Chenopodiumalbum yielded 0.64 % v/w of essential oil. GC and GC/MS analyses of the oil revealed that the bulk of the oil was constituted by aromatic compounds (60.1 %). The abundant constituents of the oil were: p- cymene (40.9 %), ascaridole (15.5 %), pinane-2-ol (9.9 %), α-pinene (7.0 %), β-pinene (6.2 %) and α-terpineol (6.2 %). The oil displayed strong anti-inflamma...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurological disorder in which the neuronal degeneration associated with inflammatory processes and oxidative stress. Since alpha-terpineol was shown to possess antioxidant anti-inflammatory effects, administration of this compound studied on rat model AD. To create model, Aβ1-42 injected into hippocampus male Wistar rats. Generated AD models were divided simple sh...

Male predaceous stink bugs (Pentatom idae: A sopinae) in the genus Podisus release longrange a ttrac tan t pherom ones from a pair o f hypertrophied glands opening underneath the wings. Pherom one com positions are reported for four additional Podisus spp.: two N eotropi­ cal species (P. connexivus and an undeterm ined Podisus sp.), and two N earctic species (P. placidus and P. mucronatus). M a...

The chemical composition of the Hydrolate of Citrus aurantium L. (Rutaceae) flowers (neroli) grown in Iran, and two commercial hydrolates were analyzed by GC/MS. Thirty compounds (90.3%) were identified in the Hydrolate by the use of laboratory apparatus, thirty-eight compounds (83.4%) in the Hydrolate from the traditional method and fifteen compounds (98.3%) in the industrially produced sample...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence and the mechanisms of cineoleand terpineol on the in-vitro transdermal delivery of huperzine A from microemulsions, andtheir potential synergistic effect on the permeation enhancement. The transdermal deliveryof huperzine A from microemulsions with different concentrations of cineole and terpineolthrough the rat abdominal skin was de...
