Article Synopsis
- * These compounds were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques and were tested against 13 microorganisms and soybean lipoxygenase to assess their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory efficacy.
- * Results indicated strong antibacterial effects, particularly against ATCC 12453, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 31.125 µg/mL, and promising anti-LOX activity with IC values of 38.12 μM and 34.12 μM for the compounds.
Article Synopsis
- The study compiled extensive data using NMR, MS, IR, and gas chromatography on various esters derived from hexanoic acid and a series of ω-phenylalkan-1-ols, totaling 48 chemical compounds.* -
- A new compound, 3-phenylpropyl 2-methylpentanoate, was identified as a constituent of essential oil through this research, enriched by the spectral and chromatographical data gathered.* -
- The research established a correlation between retention index values and the structures of regioisomeric hexanoates, creating a useful tool for (phyto)chemists in identifying related natural compounds in future studies.*
Background: Clinopodium thymifolium is an aromatic plant species that is widespread in the Mediterranean region. It has been considered as a condiment and is used in cooking. As a promising spice plant, some efforts are being made to introduce this plant as a new crop species and it has been successfully cultivated in northern Italy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA comprehensive data collection of mass spectral and gas chromatographic data of a series of esters of diastereomeric menthols (menthol, isomenthol, neomenthol, and neoisomenthol), in total 150 chemical entities, obtained by GC-MS on commonly used capillary columns of different polarity (non-polar HP-5MS and polar HP-Innowax), was created. Also, MS libraries containing electron ionization MS recorded on single quadrupole as well as on quadrupole ion-trap mass detectors together with the RIs on non-polar and polar columns were compiled (available as supplementary materials). The results point out to frequent misidentification of neoisomenthyl acetate as isomenthyl acetate in the literature, and the means of how to resolve this issue was suggested.
