Two hydroxylated isobenzofuranones 3 and 4 were synthesized from benzoic acids. The compounds were fully characterized by IR, NMR (1H and 13C), HRMS, and X-ray crystallography. Compounds 3 and 4 crystallized in the space ...

Technologies involving the use of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to elicit RNA interference (RNAi) in pest control have emerged as an alternative to traditional pesticides. RNAi can mediate natural cell protection being a ...

Monoterpenes, the main constituents of essential oils, are known for their many biological activities. The present work studied the potential biological activity of twenty-seven monoterpenes, including monoterpene hydrocarbons ...
