General description

β-Thujaplicin is a monoterpene and tropolonecompound having unique conjugated seven-membered ring. Thujaplicins arerecognized as isomers of isopropyl tropolones. Additionally it is a fluorescentligand used for the synthesis of lanthanide organic complexes.

Application


  • Fabrication and characterization of sodium alginate/blueberry anthocyanins/hinokitiol loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles composite films with antibacterial activity for monitoring pork freshness.: This study develops composite films incorporating hinokitiol for its antibacterial properties to monitor pork freshness, highlighting its potential in food safety applications (Guo et al., 2024).

Production of a novel antimicrobial tropolone, beta-thujaplicin, in Cupressus lusitanica suspension cultures was studied by using a variety of chemicals and fungal elicitors. Sodium alginate, chitin, and methyl jasmonate resulted in 2-, 2.5-, and 3-fold higher beta-thujaplicin production, respectively, than
