Sesquiterpene Essays

Mechanism of action of TTO Tea tree oil is the volatile essential oil derived mainly from the Australian native plant, Melaleuca alternifolia. It is composed of terpene hydrocarbons, mainly monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and their associated alcohols which are volatile, aromatic hydrocarbons[29]. Antibacterial activity of this essential oil has been discussed in the literature since 1940s[30-33] however, its appearance in the scientific literature started in the

ABSTRACT The Diels-Alder reaction has been an area of great research interest with regards to enhancing enantioselectivity in the reaction by use of various catalysts and reaction conditions. INTRODUCTION In organic chemistry, a Diels-Alder reaction refers to a 4, 2 cycloaddition between a diene consisting of alternating double bonds and a substituted alkene (the dienophile) resulting in a substituted cyclohexene system. The reaction is often used to reliably control regioselective and enantioselective

3. Review of literature 3.1 Stress and its types: Stress is an essential mediator of human behaviour. Immediate physiological response to any type of stressor facilitates survival of the species at its maximum. Despite of normal homeostatic regulatory mechanism, the stress responses can become maladaptive. Chronic stress, for example immobilization, exposure to noise, irradiations, psychological stress can leads to a host of adverse health consequences, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegeneration
