A series of novel α-terpineol derivatives were designed and synthesized through structural derivatization of the tertiary hydroxyl moiety or reduction of the double bond. Of the resulting compounds, eight compounds enhanced relaxation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) compared to the α-terpineol precursor, and four compounds (4a, 4d, 4e, and 4i)were superior or comparable to aminophylline at a concentration of 0.75 mmol/L. Assays for 3′-5′-Cyclic adenosine monophpsphate (cAMP) activation revealed that some representative α-terpineol derivatives in this series were capable of upregulating the level of cAMP in ASM cells. Further in vivo investigation using the asthmatic rat model, illustrated that treatment with the compounds 4a and 4e resulted in significantly lowered lung resistance (RL) and enhanced dynamic lung compliance (Cldyn), two important parameters for lung fuction. Moreover, treatment with 4e downregulated the levels of both IL-4 and IL-17. Due to its several favorable physiological functions, including ASM relaxation activity, cAMP activation capability, and in vivo anti-asthmatic efficacy, 4e is a promising remedy for bronchial asthma, meriting extensive development.

The tail-to-head terpene cyclization is arguably one of the most complex reactions found in nature. The hydrogen-bond-based resorcinarene capsule represents the first man-made enzyme-like catalyst that is capable of catalyzing this reaction. Based on noncovalent interactions between the capsule and the substrate, the product selectivity can be tuned by using different leaving groups. A detailed mechanistic investigation was performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism. For the cyclization of geranyl acetate, it was found that the cleavage of the leaving group is the rate-determining step. Furthermore, the studies revealed that trace amounts of acid are required as cocatalyst. A series of control experiments demonstrate that a synergistic interplay between the supramolecular capsule and the acid traces is required for catalytic activity.

Paragraph 0037; 0038, (2017/05/03)
The invention discloses alpha-terpineol derivatives, the structure of which is shown as the formula (II), wherein R or H is C1-C5 alkyl. The alpha-terpineol derivatives can be obtained by performing esterification reaction on a raw material alpha-terpineol with acid or acid anhydride at the temperature of 18-30DEG C under the action of 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride. The invention further discloses applications of the alpha-terpineol derivatives in preparing antiasthmatic drugs, carboxylic ester prodrug formed by introducing carboxylic ester on the hydroxyl of the alpha-terpineol derivatives can be slowly hydrolyzed in a human body to release parent drug and further prolong the curative effect and the acting time, in addition the bioavailability can be improved, and the antiasthma activity can be further enhanced.

Page/Page column 34, (2013/03/26)
The present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition and a method for disinfection involving the antimicrobial composition. It particularly relates to an antimicrobial composition for personal cleaning, oral care or hard surface cleaning applications. It was found that compositions comprising thymol, selected terpinyl derivatives and a carrier provide synergistic antimicrobial action. In a preferred aspect the composition also comprises 1 to 80 %-wt of surfactant.
SOLVOLYTIC DISPLACEMENT OF ALKYL HALIDES BY METAL SALTS. PREPARATIVE PROCEDURES FOR ALLYL-, BENZYL- AND TERTIARY ALKYL-OXY DERIVATIVES USING THE ZINC SALTS
