A report from the University Mohamed Boudiaf of M'sila in Algeria discusses the search for natural alternatives to synthetic fungicides and preservatives in order to reduce health risks associated with chemical residues in food. The study focuses on the chemical composition and antioxidant and antifungal activities of powders, methanol extracts, and essential oils from rosemary and thyme plants in the M'sila region. The research found that rosemary had the highest polyphenolic content and antioxidant activity, while thyme had the highest flavonoid content. Both plants showed potential in fighting foodborne molds and could be used as alternatives to chemical pesticides and synthetic preservatives. Further studies are needed to determine appropriate application techniques in the field of food safety. [Extracted from the article]

14 Palladium-based catalysts have also been mentioned in literature in similar synthesis, though they are known to act in a way similar to nickel oxidic catalysts - preferring hydrogenation of C=C double bond and preserving carbonyl group. E Vrbkova, T Skypala, E Vyskocilova, L Cerveny, Cyclamen aldehyde synthesis: aldol condensation followed by hydrogenation over ruthenium catalyst, Res Chem Intermed 41(12) 9195-9205 (2015) 15. The Raney nickel catalyst was shown to provide a higher reaction rate, as expected, and, at the same reaction conditions, it led to total hydrogenation of aldol reaction product. The preferred product using Ru catalyst was MMCON product, although it is obvious that an increase of reaction temperature starts to tend toward the formation of total hydrogenation product.

A preprint abstract from biorxiv.org suggests that certain essential oil terpenes may inhibit the activity of steroidogenic enzymes involved in the production of androgens and estrogens. These enzymes, such as Cytochrome P450 c17 (CYP17A1) and aromatase (CYP19A1), play a role in the development of conditions like prostate cancer and polycystic ovary syndrome. The study found that some essential oil components, including (+)-Cedrol, Eucalyptol, Dihydro-{beta}-Ionone, and (-)--pinene, showed inhibition of dehydroepiandrosterone production. Prolonged exposure to these essential oils may result in steroid imbalances, but they may also provide ideas for the development of novel compounds to treat hyperandrogenic disorders.

Alpha-pinene, typically derived from pine trees, is also a by-product of the paper manufacturing process. The material is a source of low-toxic and naturally based isobornyl ethers, from which a new hydrotrope, dipropylene glycol isobornyl ether, was developed. The present study examines the unique dispersion and solubility properties of this material, among other benefits, and its application in cosmetics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

1,8-Cineole (cineole) and ?-pinene, two monoterpenes isolated from the essential oil obtained from EUCALYPTUS CAMALDULENSIS Dehn leaves were tested for antinociceptive properties. Tail-flick and hot-plate methods, reflecting the spinal and supraspinal levels, respectively, were used in mice and/or rats using morphine and naloxone for comparison. Cineole exhibited an antinociceptive activity comparable to that of morphine, in both algesic stimuli. A significant synergism between cineole and morphine was observed, but naloxone failed to antagonize the effect of cineole. ?-Pinene exerted supraspinal antinociceptive actions in rats only and it reversed the antinociceptive effect of morphine in a degree equivalent to naloxone, probably acting as a partial agonist through the ? opioid receptors. From structure-activity relationships of the pairs morphine + cineole and naloxone + ?-pinene, it was shown that similarities exist in the stereochemistry and in the respective atomic charges of these molecules. Further studies are in progress in order to elucidate the mechanism of action of the two terpenoids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
