1. A particulate enzyme fraction and an acetone powder preparation from cucumber fruits cleaved 9- and 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acids to form volatile aldehydes and oxoacid fragments. 2. From the 9-hydroperoxide, the major volatile fragments were cis-3-nonenal and trans-2-nonenal using particulate enzyme
The toxicities of three plant volatiles, (2E)-hexenal, (2E, 6Z)-nonadienal and (2E)-nonenal, intermediate products of the oxylipin biosynthesis pathway, were tested on three mites of importance for medical purposes and as pests. The aldehydes were diluted in hexane separately and incorporated
In our search for new antimalarial agents inspired by natural products, we describe herein the synthesis, the evaluation of in vitro antiplasmodial activity, and the SAR studies for a series of endoperoxide antimalarials based on the plakortin scaffold. These simplified

Inflammation is associated with oxidative stress and local generation of lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes, such as 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE). In most tissues, HNE is readily conjugated with glutathione and presently it is unknown whether glutathionyl-HNE (GS-HNE) plays a functional role in inflammation.
The benefits of estrogen replacement as a preventative treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are subject to debate. Because the effects of estrogen depletion and replacement on accumulation of the neurotoxic beta-amyloid (A beta) peptide in transgenic animal models of AD
