Li Y, She Q, Han Z, Sun N, Liu X, Li X Scientific Reports, 2018 ABSTRACT: Essential oil derivatives are widely used for anaesthetising aquatic animals. However, the effectiveness of anaesthesia often varies according to the anaesthetic agent, species, temperature, dosage, and interactions among these factors. This study evaluated the effects of eugenol on three… Read more »
Selected terpenes from leaves of Ocimum basilicum L. induce hemoglobin accumulation in human K562 cells
Giordana F, Nicola M, Valentina C, Torricelli P, Beninati S, Tagliati F, Mischiati C Fitoterapia, 2018 ABSTRACT: Re-expression of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) was proposed as a possible therapeutic strategy for β-haemoglobinopathies. Although several inducers of HbF were tested in clinical trials, only hydroxyurea (HU) received FDA approval. Despite it produced adequate HbF levels only in… Read more »
Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of eugenol from essential oil of Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L. M. Perry (clove) leaf against periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis
Zhang Y, Wang Y, Zhu X, Cao P, Wei S, Lu Y Microbial Pathogenesis, 2017 ABSTRACT: The antibacterial effect and mechanism of eugenol from Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L. M. Perry (clove) leaf essential oil (CLEO) against oral anaerobe Porphyromonas gingivalis were investigated. The results showed that eugenol, with content of 90.84% in CLEO, exhibited antibacterial… Read more »

Yan X, Zhang G, Bie F, Lv Y, Ma Y, Ma M, Wang Y, Hao X, Yuan N, Jiang X Scientific Republic, 2017 ABSTRACT: Alteration in cellular energy metabolism plays a critical role in the development and progression of cancer. Targeting metabolic pathways for cancer treatment has been investigated as potential preventive or therapeutic methods…. Read more »
Perspectives on medicinal properties of natural phenolic monoterpenoids and their hybrids
Rajput JD, Bagul SD, Pete UD, Zade CM, Padhye SB, Bendre RS Molecular Diversity, 2017 ABSTRACT: Carvacrol, thymol and eugenol belong to a class of naturally presenting phenols with a ten-carbon unit, which are present in essential oils of many plants. These versatile molecules are incorporated as useful ingredients in many food products and find applications in… Read more »
Comparison study on antioxidant, DNA damage protective and antibacterial activities of eugenol and isoeugenol against several foodborne pathogens
Zhang LL, Zhang LF, Xu JG, Hu QP Food and Nutrition Research, 2017 ABSTRACT: Eugenol and its isomer isoeugenol are both used as flavouring agents or food additives in food products, and have both some similar biological properties. However, the difference in biological activities between eugenol and isoeugenol is rarely studied. In this study, the profiles of antioxidant,… Read more »
Clove extract functions as a natural fatty acid synthesis inhibitor and prevents obesity in a mouse model
Ding Y, Gu Z, Wang Y, Wang S, Chen H, Zhang H, Chen W, Chen YQ Food & Function, 2017 ABSTRACT: Numerous medicinal plants have been reported to prevent various chronic diseases. In this study, we screened a new FASN inhibitor-alcohol extract of clove (AEC) using a fast microplate method developed in our laboratory. The major components of AEC were: eugenol (42.27%), acetyl eugenol (29.12%), caryophyllene (15.40%), and… Read more »
The in vitro Antimicrobial Activity and Chemometric Modelling of 59 Commercial Essential Oils against Pathogens of Dermatological Relevance.
Orchard A, Sandasi M, Kamatou G, Viljoen A, van Vuuren S Chemistry & Biodiversity, 2017 ABSTRACT: This study reports on the inhibitory concentration of 59 commercial essential oils recommended for dermatological conditions, and identifies putative compounds responsible for antimicrobial activity. Essential oils were investigated for antimicrobial activity using minimum inhibitory concentration assays. Ten essential oils… Read more »
