Anacardic acid diene is a polyunsaturated form of anacardic acid that has been found in cashew nut shell liquid. It has antibacterial activity against methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and S. mutans (MICs = 12.5 and 6.25 μg/ml, respectively). Anacardic acid diene has schistosomicidal activity against adult S. mansoni worms when used at a concentration of 100 μM. It also inhibits soybean lipoxygenase-1 in a time-dependent manner.
Octanoic Acid-13C is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of octanoic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Octanoic acid is a medium-chain saturated fatty acid. It has been found in Teleme cheeses made from goat,ovine,or bovine milk.1 Octanoic acid is active against the bacteria S. mutans,S. gordonii,F. nucleatum,and P. gingivalis (IC80s = <125,<125,1,403,and 2,294 μM,respectively).2 Levels of octanoic acid are increased in the plasma of patients with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD)deficiency,an inborn error of fatty acid metabolism characterized by hypoketotic hypoglycemia,medium-chain dicarboxylic aciduria,and intolerance to fasting.3,4
(-)-Asimilobine shows antioxidative, anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE), anti-α±-glucosidase, anti-leishmanial and anti-fungal activities; it displays weak inhibition against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175), with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) o
Gancaonin G shows antibacterial effects on the MRSA strains with MIC values of 16 microg/ml, it also shows more moderate antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans.
