limonene/dental caries

The ratios of inclusion of d-limonene in alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrin (CD) cavities were measured under low moisture conditions by a micro-aqueous method, and the minimum numbers of water molecules required for inclusion of d-limonene in alpha-, beta-, and gamma-CD cavities were determined

Objective: This study aimed to examine and compare the anti-caries effects of citrus lemon oil (CLO) and limonene in rats. Methods: The minimal inhibitory concentrations of CLO

A high-sensitivity polarimeter is demonstrated for application to gas-phase chirality measurement. This device is based on the physics of the eigenstates of a Fabry-Perot cavity, permitting improvement in the sensitivity with respect to the usual polarimeters. Typical measurements of rotations of 50

We investigated the relationship between the absorptive pathway and the immune responses of the lung, particularly the phagocytic function of alveolar macrophages (Mphi) after oral administration of D-limonene in rats. D-Limonene was orally administered in oily solution with a stomach tube in

This study evaluated three different methods for the formation of an inclusion complex between alpha- and beta-cyclodextrin (α- and β-CD) and limonene (LIM) with the goal of improving the physicochemical properties of limonene. The study samples were prepared through physical mixing (PM), paste

D-limonene epoxidation generates (+)-limonene epoxide, an understudied compound in the pharmacologically point of view. Herein, we investigated the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive potentialities of (+)-limonene epoxide and suggested a mechanism of action. The anti-inflammatory potential was

Rice blast disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is the most devastating disease of rice. In our ongoing characterization of the defence mechanisms of rice plants against M. oryzae, a terpene synthase gene OsTPS19 was identified as a candidate defence gene. Here, we report the functional

We present immunocytochemical localizations of four enzymes involved in p-menthane monoterpene biosynthesis in mint: the large and small subunits of peppermint (Mentha x piperita) geranyl diphosphate synthase, spearmint (Mentha spicata) (-)-(4S)-limonene-6-hydroxylase, peppermint

Terpene volatiles play an important role in the interactions between specialized pathogens and fruits. Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by the fungus Phyllosticta citricarpa, is associated with crop losses in different citrus-growing areas worldwide. The pathogen may infect the fruit for 20-24 weeks

The photodegradation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) material by actinic UV radiation was investigated. SOA was generated via the dark reaction of ozone and d-limonene, collected onto quartz-fiber filters, and exposed to wavelength-tunable radiation. Photochemical production of CO was monitored

Alpha 2u-globulin (A2U) is the major urinary protein excreted by adult male rats. The structure of a monoclinic crystal form of A2U was reported in 1992 [Böcskei et al. (1992). Nature (London), 360, 186-188]. The structures of an orthorhombic crystal form of A2U at 2. 5 A resolution (refined to an R

The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and antifungal activity of four commercial essential oils from the Burseraceae family - two Boswellia carterii Flueck oils, Canarium luzonicum (Blume) A. Gray oil, and Commiphora myrrha (Nees) Engl oil, against most common Candida

The essential oil from different parts of Zingiber roseum plants was extracted by hydrodistillation, and analyzed using enantio-GC, capillary-GC and GC-MS. Two chiral selectors, 6-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-2,3-diethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (TBDE-beta-CD), and 2,3,6-methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (PM-beta-CD)

Atmospheric absorption by brown carbon aerosol may play an important role in global radiative forcing. Brown carbon arises from both primary and secondary sources, but the mechanisms and reactions of the latter are highly uncertain. One proposed mechanism is the reaction of ammonia or amino acids
