A study of chemicals in the wood and associated industries for the selection of candidates for carcinogen bioassay. 1. Naturally occurring wood chemicals. Sigman, C. C.; Helmes, C. T.; Fay, J. R.; Lundquist, P. L.; Perry, L. R. (SRI Int., Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA). J. Environ. Sci. Health, Part A, A19(5), 533-77 (English) 1984. CODEN: JESEDU. ISSN: 0360-1226. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal; General Review CA Section: 4 (Toxicology) Section cross-reference(s): 43 A review and discussion with 61 refs. Based on consideration of possible carcinogenic activity and evidence indicating potential exposure, the following naturally occurring 11 chems. were nominated for carcinogen bioassay: abietic acid [514-10-3], cardol [57486-25-6], urushiol [53237-59-5], coniferyl aldehyde [458-36-6], ellagic acid [476-66-4], kaempferol (I) [520-18-3], lapachol [84-79-7], 4-methoxydalbergione [28396-75-0], podophyllotoxin [518-28-5], pterostilbene [537-42-8], and a-terpineol [98-55-5].

Potential drugs from propolis. Ghisalberti, Emilio L.; Jefferies, P. R.; Lanteri, R. (Dep. Org. Chem., Univ. West. Australia, Nedlands, Aust.). Mass Spectrom. Drug Metab., [Proc. Int. Symp.], Meeting Date 1976, 111-30. Edited by: Frigerio, Alberto; Ghisalberti, Emilio L. Plenum: New York, N. Y. (English) 1977. CODEN: 37AIAE. DOCUMENT TYPE: Conference CA Section: 63 (Pharmaceuticals) Section cross-reference(s): 12, 27, 25 Propolis or bees glue from western Australia was subjected to extensive fractionation and pinostrobin (I) [480-37-5], sakuranetin (II) [2957-21-3], isosakuranetin (III) [480-43-3], xanthorrhoeol (IV) [1485-31-0], pterostilbene (V) [537-42-8], 5-hydroxy-4'7-dimethoxyflavanone [13238-06-7], and 3,5-dimethoxybenzyl alc. [705-76-0] were isolated. II and IV possess antifungal activity and III was shown to have papaverine-like spasmolytic activity.
