1. The metabolism of limonene-1,2-epoxide was studied following intraperitoneal injection in rats and in rat liver homogenates. 2. Limonene-1,2-glycol was the only neutral metabolite detected. Major limonene metabolites, p-mentha-2,8-dien-1-alpha and -beta-ol and p-mentha-1,8-dien-6-alpha and -beta-ol were not observed. 3. Limonene-1,2-epoxide

An epoxide hydrolase from Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL14 catalyzes the hydrolysis of limonene-1,2-epoxide to limonene-1,2-diol. The enzyme is induced when R. erythropolis is grown on monoterpenes, reflecting its role in the limonene degradation pathway of this microorganism. Limonene-1,2-epoxide hydrolase was purified
If released in significant amounts, products formed by reactions between ozone (O3) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sorbed on activated carbon (AC) filters could degrade indoor air quality (IAQ). Heterogeneous reactions were investigated in laboratory experiments aimed at characterizing reaction

A diverse group of chemicals cause a male rat-specific nephrotoxicity in which alpha 2u-globulin accumulates in renal lysosomes. It has been suggested that these chemicals bind to the protein and decrease its degradation by lysosomal proteinases. To test this hypothesis

S-(-)-Limonene oxide (4-isopropenyl-1-methyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane) is a secondary metabolite and an atmospheric pollutant product of oxidation of other terpenes, such as limonene and alpha-pinene, among others. For the first time, a theoretical study of the molecular structure and a theoretical and experimental
