• Linalool is a monoterpene compound commonly found as a major component of the essential oils of several aromatic plant species, many of which are used in traditional medical systems as analgesic and anti-inflammatory remedies. (researchgate.net)
  • The principal constituents are bicyclic terpenes (e.g. α-pinene, β-pinene, δ-3-carene), with smaller proportions of monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and their hydrogenated and oxygenated terpenoid derivatives. (europa.eu)

  • Terpinen-4-ol, a naturally occurring monoterpene found in the essential oils of many aromatic plants including Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil), Hajeb Layoun arboreta (Tunisia) and Alpinia zerumbet, has been shown to have antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal effects as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities [ 9 - 13 ].

  • Marjoram Essential Oil contains triterpene compounds and several monoterpene alcohols such as alpha-terpineol, thuyanol, and linalool which give it an anti-infective and immunostimulant power. (bioprogreen.com)
  • Higher amounts of oxygenated monoterpenes such as borneol, camphor, terpene- 4-ol, linalool, a-terpeneol were present in the oil of SFME in comparison with HD. (ru.ac.za)
  • Monoterpene hydrocarbons were the first aromatic compounds to appear on a global scale. (livinglibations.com)
  • These compounds represented an antiviral defense mechanism, which was critical for survival… We now know that monoterpene hydrocarbons interact with receptor systems, which originally developed in a hydrophilic environment, geared towards peptides, Botanical chemical engineering brilliantly overcame two obstacles: communication with the receptors of other organisms, and doing so with substances adapted to the stationary nature of plants by volatile substances that could travel through air: terpenes.

  • Both limonene and perillyl alcohol are currently being evaluated in phase I clinical trials in advanced cancer patients. (nih.gov)
  • These terpenes have a diverse chemical composition that range from a simple molecule with carbon and hydrogen to more complex molecules with oxygenated organic groups, such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and ethers. (intechopen.com)
  • Accumulation of monoterpene alcohols and ketones was observed during maturation process of Rosmarinus leaves. (ru.ac.za)
  • 18 compounds were identified in female buds including 6 unique compounds such as (E)-4-hexenol and isoamyl acetate, and 32 compounds were identified in male buds, including 20 unique compounds such as (Z)-3-methylbutyraldehyde oxime and benzyl alcohol. (bvsalud.org)
  • In total, 9 differential volatile compounds between female and male buds were screened out, including isoamyl alcohol, (Z)-3-methylbutanal oxime, and 1-nitropentane based on multivariate statistical analysis such as principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA).
