A hydrogen ion-selective poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrode was developed using 2-(4-methoxy phenyl) 6-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-phenyl-1,3-diazabicyclo [3.1.0] hex-3-ene as ionophore. Effects of experimental parameters such as membrane composition, nature and amount of plasticizer, and the a...

A series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives of 2-(4-formyl-2-methoxyphenoxy) acetic acid (6a–s) were synthesized by cyclization of carboxylic acid group of 2-(2-methoxy-4-(3-oxo-3-substituted phenylprop-1-enyl)phenoxy) acetic acid (4a–s) with thiosemicarbazide in the presence of POCl3 or PPA. Th...

We have synthesized three analogues of 4-amino-5-fluorohexanoic acids as potential inactivators of γ-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT), which were designed to combine the potency of their shorter chain analogue, 4-amino-5-fluoropentanoic acid (AFPA), with the greater enzyme selectivi...

A toxicologic and dermatologic review of terpineol when used as a fragrance ingredient is presented.

Concerns about Aspergillus niger (A. niger) contamination and subsequent overuse of synthetic preservatives in foods have arisen due to their potential threats on human health and the environment. Essential oils from plants, and some of the oils’ active components as natural antimycotics, are p...

A series of novel α-terpineol derivatives were designed and synthesized through structural derivatization of the tertiary hydroxyl moiety or reduction of the double bond. Of the resulting compounds, eight compounds enhanced relaxation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) compared to the α-terpineol p...

Improving the octane number of gasoline offers the potential of improved engine combustion, as it permits spark timing advancement without engine knock. This study proposes the use of terpineol as an octane booster for gasoline in a spark ignited (SI) engine. Terpineol is a bio-derived oxygenate...

α-Terpineol (TP) is present in a wide range of essential oils of the genus Eucalyptus, with recognized potential for a range of biological effects, such as analgesic. Hence, our study aimed to investigate the effect of TP on cancer pain induced by sarcoma 180 in Swiss mice. Our results showed t...

Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of infant death in the world accounting for high child mortality rate. It is also present in different pathophysiologies related to several etiological agents. The aim of this study is to investigate the antidiarrheal effect of α –Terpineol (α-TPN) in dif...

This study investigates the effect of using terpineol as an octane booster for gasoline fuel. Unlike ethanol, terpineol is a high energy density biofuel that is unlikely to result in increased volumetric fuel consumption when used in engines. In this study, terpineol is added to non-oxygenated F...

In this paper, γ-terpineol, a known monoterpene with biological activity, including in lipidic interfaces, was incorporated in Langmuir monolayers of selected phospholipids as a model for cellular membranes. Surface pressure-area isotherms showed that selected amounts of γ-terpineol expand DPP...

Plant allelochemicals effectively inhibit and/ or control algal growth, and have potential to use as algaecide. To uncover the lethal mechanism of 2 anti-algal compounds linalool and α-terpineol identified from Cinnamomum camphora extracts, and promote their development as algaecide, the H2O2 p...

A series of benzodithiophene (BDT) and benzotrithiophene (BTT)-based conjugated polymers (P1–P4), with/without conjugated- and acyl-side chain, have been synthesized by Stille cross-coupling reaction. Their thermal, photophysical, electrochemical properties, devices performances, and microstruc...

In this paper, we have investigated the structures, electronic and optical properties of five conjugated copolymers (BTT1–BTz, BTT2–BTz, BTT3–BTz, BTT4–BTz and BTT5–BTz) featuring benzotrithiophene (BTT) isomers as donor units and benzothiadiazole (BTz) as acceptor units, linked through thi...

The luminescent coordination polymer {[Zn2(BPPA)2(bdc)2](H2O)(DMF)}n with a 2D → 3D interpenetrating structure was constructed from Zn2+ ions, bis[4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]amine (BPPA), and benzene-p-dicarboxylic acid (H2bdc).

New heterocyclic betaines, 4-aryl-5-(alkoxycarbonyl)-2-oxo-3-(pyridin-1-ium-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-ides, were synthesized in good yields by the reaction of alkyl 2H-azirine-2-carboxylates with 2-methoxy-2-oxo-1-(pyridin-1-ium-1-yl)ethan-1-ides, generated from the corresponding pyridinium ...

Despite the interactions of tetrabutylammonium fluoride and tetrabutylammonium acetate interacted with 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-((pyridin-4-yl)methyl)thiourea (L) show similar absorption at 479 nm, the color intensities are different. This helps to distinguish these two ions in independent solution b...
