Guaiazulene can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of:
Azulene-based dye molecules such as 3-(7-isopropyl-1,4-dimethylazulen-3-yl)-2-cyanoacrylic acid and 5-(7-isopropyl-1,4-dimethylazulen-3-yl)-2-cyanopenta-2,4-dienoic acid.[1]
Stilbazulenyl nitrone, a second-generation azulenyl nitrone which can be used as a chain-breaking antioxidant.[2]
Bis-azulenyl based near-infrared fluorescence quencher.[3]

It is shown here that calenzanane sesquiterpenes (1 and 6) can be isolated from organic extracts from the red seaweed Laurencia microcladia Kützing from the Bay of Calenzana, Elba Island, provided contact with acidic media is minimized. Such contact induces

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are between the major contributors for the reduced rate of in vitro bovine embryo production. It is believed that they can cause abnormal meiosis of oocytes, developmental arrest or cell death of embryos. Reports on the

The photostability of guaiazulene (1,4-dimethyl-7-isopropylazulene; GA), a natural azulenic compound used in cosmetic and health-care products, as well as in pharmaceutical preparations, was investigated in solution (methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile), by different techniques: gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography
