Article Synopsis
- Rosewood oil (RO) contains linalool, a compound known for its anti-anxiety, sedative, and anticonvulsant properties, which may help protect against seizures by inhibiting cAMP increases.
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of RO and its linalool variants on adenylate cyclase activity in chick retinas, using forskolin to stimulate enzyme activity and measuring cAMP accumulation.
- Results showed that RO and linalool compounds inhibited cAMP accumulation triggered by forskolin, indicating different relative efficacies among them and furthering the understanding of linalool's relaxing effects on the central nervous system.
