An Integrated ANN-PRA/DP4+ Tandem Computational Approach Contributing to the Ordering of the Heliannuol Family.

Heliannuols are a unique class of sesquiterpenes isolated mostly from , commonly known as sunflower. The interesting allelopathic properties, combined with their unprecedented carbon skeletons, have drawn wide attention to phytochemistry and synthetic groups. So far, 14 heliannuols (heliannuols A-N) have been described in the literature, although some of them have not yet been validated by total synthesis.

Revisiting the structure of Heliannuol L: A computational approach.

Recently, structural elucidation of natural products has undergone a revolution. The combined use of different modern spectroscopic methods has allowed obtaining a complete structural assignment of natural products using small amounts of sample. However, despite the extraordinary ongoing advances in spectroscopy, the mischaracterization of natural products has been and remains a recurrent problem, especially when the substance presents several stereogenic centers.

Biotechnological Potential of Eugenol and Thymol Derivatives Against Staphylococcus aureus from Bovine Mastitis.

Bovine mastitis is an infectious disease that affects the mammary gland of dairy cattle with considerable economic losses. Staphylococcus aureus is the main microorganism involved in this highly contagious process, and the treatment is only using antibiotics. Currently, the search for new treatment and/or compounds is still in need due to microbial resistance.

4-[(Dimethyl-amino)methyl-idene]-2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one.

The title mol-ecule, C(12)H(11)N(3)O(4), is essentially planar, the r.m.s.
