  • The synthesis and characterisation of MDMA derived from a catalytic oxidation of material isolated from black pepper reveals potential route specific impurities.: This study explores the synthesis and characterization of MDMA from piperonal, highlighting potential impurities unique to this synthesis route. This research has implications for forensic science and the identification of synthetic routes for MDMA (Plummer et al., 2016).

  • Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of platensimycin analogues with varying degrees of molecular complexity.: This paper details the synthesis of platensimycin analogues using piperonal derivatives. The study evaluates the biological activities of these analogues, contributing to the development of new antibacterial agents (Nicolaou et al., 2008).

  • Synthesis and use of 4-peptidylhydrazido-N-hexyl-1,8-naphthalimides as fluorogenic histochemical substrates for dipeptidyl peptidase IV and tripeptidyl peptidase I.: This research presents the synthesis of piperonal-based substrates for histochemical applications, enabling the study of enzyme activities in biochemical assays (Ivanov et al., 2009).

Currently, in the field of odor detection, there is generally a wider variation in limit of detections (LODs) for canines than instruments. The study presented in this paper introduces an improved protocol for the creation of controlled odor mimic permeation

Fifty-seven outpatients received either heliotropin (a vanillalike scent) with humidified air (n = 20) or humidified air alone (n = 37) via a nasal cannula during magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnostic workup for cancer. Delivery of heliotropin and air

The human olfactory system can recognize and discriminate a large number of different odorant molecules. The detection of chemically distinct odorants begins with the binding of an odorant ligand to a specific receptor protein on the olfactory neuron cell surface.

Little is known about the possible health effects associated with inhaling alkenylbenzenes through cigarette smoking, even though these flavor-related compounds have known toxic effects in animals. We developed a rapid and sensitive solid-phase extraction (SPE) method to quantify seven alkenylbenzenes
