Comparative study of three Achillea essential oils from eastern part of Turkey and their biological activities was written by Demirci, Betul;Baser, K. Husnu Can;Aytac, Zeki;Khan, Shabana I.;Jacob, Melissa R.;Tabanca, Nurhayat. And the article was included in Records of Natural Products in 2018.Category: esters-buliding-blocks The following contents are mentioned in the article:
Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation were analyzed both by gas chromatog. (GC) and gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main constituents found in Achillea oil were as follows: A. filipendulina Lam.: 43.8% santolina alc., 14.5% 1,8-cineole and 12.5% cis-chrysanthenyl acetate; A. magnifica Hiemerl ex Hub.-Mor.: 27.5% linalool, 5.8% spathulenol, 5.5% terpinen-4-ol, 4.7% α-terpineol and 4.7% β-eudesmol; A. tenuifolia Lam.: 12.4% artemisia ketone, 9.9% p-cymene, 7.1% camphor, 5.9% terpinen-4-ol, 4.7% caryophyllene oxide and 4.5% α-pinene. Furthermore, the Achillea essential oils were evaluated for antimalarial and antimicrobial activities. A. magnifica and A. filipendulina oils showed strong antimalarial activity against both chloroquine sensitive D6 (IC50= 1.2 and 0.68 μg/mL) and chloroquine resistant W2 (IC50= 1.1 and 0.9 μg/mL) strains of Plasmodium falciparum without any cytotoxicity to mammalian cells up to IC50=47.6 μg/mL against Vero cells whereas A. tenuifolia oil showed no antimalarial activity up to a concentration of 20 mg/mL. All three Achillea oils showed no antibacterial activity against human pathogenic bacteria up to a concentration of 200 μg/mL. A. tenuifolia and A. magnifica oils demonstrated mild antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans (IC50= 45, 20 and 15 μg/mL, resp.). This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as Methyl nonadecanoate (cas: 1731-94-8Category: esters-buliding-blocks).
Methyl nonadecanoate (cas: 1731-94-8) belongs to esters. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Liquid esters of low volatility serve as softening agents for resins and plastics. Esters also include many industrially important polymers. Polymethyl methacrylate is a glass substitute sold under the names Lucite and Plexiglas; polyethylene terephthalate is used as a film (Mylar) and as textile fibres sold as Terylene, Fortrel, and Dacron.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
