Description

b-Cyclocitral is a monoterpene that has been shown to have antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans. It also inhibits the growth of cyanobacterial strains and causes cell lysis. The b-cyclocitral precursor, ethyl decanoate, is a major component of carotenoid pigments in some freshwater fish such as catfish and malic acid is a key metabolite of b-cyclocitral. The reaction products of b-cyclocitral with sodium carbonate were investigated using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) technique. Kinetic studies on the reaction between b-cyclocitral and sodium carbonate showed an initial rate for the reaction at about 0.4 M/sec, which decreased over time to about 0.1 M/sec after 1 hour. Chronic bronchitis has been shown to be caused by inflammation in the airways, which can be
