Potential Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Cancer Properties of Farnesol.

Young Yun Jung et al.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 23(11) (2018-11-06)

Farnesol, an acyclic sesquiterpene alcohol, is predominantly found in essential oils of various plants in nature. It has been reported to exhibit anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects, and also alleviate allergic asthma, gliosis, and edema. In numerous tumor cell lines, farnesol

Farnesol, a common sesquiterpene, inhibits PQS production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Carla Cugini et al.

Molecular microbiology, 65(4), 896-906 (2007-07-21)

Farnesol is a sesquiterpene produced by many organisms, including the fungus Candida albicans. Here, we report that the addition of farnesol to cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic human bacterial pathogen, leads to decreased production of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal

Ultrasound-assisted emulsification-microextraction of fragrance allergens in water.

Elias Becerril-Bravo et al.

Chemosphere, 81(11), 1378-1385 (2010-10-13)

A method based on ultrasound-assisted emulsification-microextraction (USAEME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been developed for the analysis of regulated fragrance allergens in water. Extraction conditions such as the type of solvent, extraction temperature, irradiation time, and salting-out effect were

Estimation of dermal and oral exposure of children to scented toys: analysis of the migration of fragrance allergens by dynamic headspace GC-MS.

Ines Masuck et al.

Journal of separation science, 34(19), 2686-2696 (2011-09-08)

Fragrances capable of inducing contact allergy in skin potentially can migrate from the toy to the child via oral or dermal contacts. The goal of this work was the developing of an analytical method based on dynamic headspace GC-MS to

Investigations on the emission of fragrance allergens from scented toys by means of headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
