Microbial transformation of (+)-cedrol was investigated by using Staphylococcus epidermidis and found that stereospecific hydroxylation of (+)-cedrol occurred at the C-3 position to form (+)-(3S)-3-hydroxycedrol.

The essential oil of the wood of Juniperus procera Endl. (Cupressaceae) from the Aberdares mountains, Central Province, Kenya has been extracted by steam distillation for varying times and analyzed using GC and GC-MS. The optimum time has been found to
It has been reported that cedarwood oil has sedative effects when inhaled. In this study, we evaluated sedative effects of inhaled cedrol, which is a major component of cedarwood oil. Accumulative spontaneous motor activity was significantly decreased in the cedrol-exposed

A cDNA library was prepared from Artemisia annua, and a 129-bp fragment was amplified from this library using primers corresponding to sequences conserved in known dicot sesquiterpene synthases. A 1641-bp open reading frame that encoded a predicted protein 35-38% identical
The use of vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy for the chiral recognition of the two epimers of 6-cedrol, tricyclic sesquiterpenes, which contains oxygen as the heaviest atom, is shown. Bands in the 1500-850 cm(-1) region of the spectra were analyzed to
