The volatile oil from leaves of Arbutus unedo L. from Croatia was subjected to chemical composition and acetylcholinesterase inhibition activity. The tested volatile oil was dominated by nonterpene compounds, with (E)-2-decenal, nonanal, nonanoic acid and octanol as main compounds. Terpene compounds were identified in lower quantity, with linalool and α-terpineol as main ones. Results showed low to moderate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition potential of tested oil, for tested concentration of 1 mg/mL.

The hydro-distilled volatile oil of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum (C. zeylanicum) buds was analyzed using GC and GC-MS for the first time. Thirty-four compounds representing ≈ 98% of the oil was characterized. It consists of terpene hydrocarbons (78%) and oxygenated terpenoids (9%). α-Bergamotene (27.38%) and α-copaene (23.05%) are found to be the major compounds. A comparison of the chemical composition of the oil was made with that of flowers and fruits.

AbstractNew C2-glycosyl triazole derivatives 6a–l were synthesized by cyclization of glycosyl acylthiosemicarbazides 5 in refluxing 3 N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. Substrates 5 were obtained by the reaction of glycosyl isothiocyanate 3 with various hydrazides. The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of compounds 6 were tested by Ellman’s method. Compounds that exhibited over 85% inhibition were subsequently evaluated for the IC50 values. Compound 6f possesses the best acetylcholinesterase-inhibition activity with IC50 of 1.46±0.25 μg/mL.
