Usage

General Description

(2E)-octadec-2-enoic acid, also known as linoleic acid, is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms and two double bonds. It is a vital component of the human diet and is considered an essential fatty acid, meaning that the body cannot produce it on its own and must obtain it from food sources. Linoleic acid is found in a variety of plant-based oils, such as sunflower, safflower, and soybean oil, as well as in nuts and seeds. It plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and hair, as well as supporting overall cardiovascular and cognitive health. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties and is believed to have potential benefits in reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

Piperlongumine B and analogs are promising and selective inhibitors for acetylcholinesterase

Piperlongumine B (19), an alkaloid previously isolated from long pepper (Piper longum) has been synthesized for the first time in a short sequence and in good yield together with 19 analogs. Screening of these compounds in Ellman's assays showed several of them to be good inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase while being less active for butyrylcholinesterase. Activity of the compounds increased with the ring size of the heterocycle, and a maximum of activity was observed for an analog holding 12 methylene groups in the aliphatic side chain. These compounds may be regarded as promising candidates for the development of efficient inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase being useful for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

(Z) 1'-propylbutyl 3-octadecenoate from Fagara budrunga fruits

Chemical constituents of the Indian medicinal plant Fagara budrunga commonly known as mullilam, have been isolated. In addition to the known compounds a new ester has been obtained. It has been assigned the structure (Z) 1'-propylbutyl 3-octadecenoate 1 from chemical conversions and spectral analysis.
