| Asakawa and Aratani isolated a sesquiterpene dial, polygodial or tadeonal, which had been obtained from Polygonum hydropiper. |
|
| Methyl farnesoate is a sesquiterpene that is related to the insect juvenile hormone. |
|
| Cadinene, the principal component of oils of cubeb and cade, is a typical sesquiterpene of the cadalene type. |
|
| Artemisia annua owes most of its favourable characteristics to sesquiterpene lactones that are found in artemisinin. |
|
| However, we reported in a previous study that santonin, a eudesmanolide sesquiterpene lactone, exerts no effects on the differentiation of leukemia cells. |
|
| There are no reports of a TPS producing chamigrene as the sole sesquiterpene. |
|
| Psilostachyin and psilostachyin C, two sesquiterpene lactones isolated from Ambrosia spp., have been demonstrated to have trypanocidal activity. |
|
| Paxidal, a sesquiterpene dialdehyde cinnamate constituent, has been identified as a main active constituent. |
|
| Artemisinin isolated from Artemisia annua is a novel sesquiterpene lactone bearing an unusual endoperoxide function. |
|
| Silkbay had the highest quantity of volatile sesquiterpenes as well as the largest diversity of sesquiterpene components. |
|
| But by the 1970s it was known that the lethal chemical, first called qinghaosu and now artemisinin, had a structure never seen before in nature: In chemical terms, it is a sesquiterpene lactone with a peroxide bridge. |
|
| In those cases in which sulfur dehydrogenation fails to yield information about the carbon skeleton of a sesquiterpene, a systematic degradation by oxidation to compounds of known structure is necessary. |
|
| In vitro anti-inflammatory effects of cynaropicrin, a sesquiterpene lactone, from Saussurea lappa. |
|
| The sesquiterpene lactone dehydroleucodine affects the growth of cultured epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi. |
|
| Fungicidal sesquiterpene dialdehyde cinnamates from Pseudowintera axillaris. |
|
| A main biologically active constituent of Horopito characterised to date, is the bicyclic sesquiterpene dialdehyde, polygodial, found in P colorata. |
|
| While these compounds affect various cellular processes, current data do not fully explain how sesquiterpene lactones exert their antiinflammatory effect. |
|
| The sesquiterpene aromadendrene bears a reactive exocyclic methylene group and a cyclopropane ring which can alkylate proteins and thereby disturb the conformation of protein. |
|
| In addition, we performed chemical analysis of the volatile emissions from lychee to determine how its sesquiterpene composition compares to that from known lauraceous hosts. |
