Chiral specificity in responses by the bark beetleDendroctonus valens to host kairomones
- K. Hobson, D. Wood, +4 authors E. Zavarin
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Chemical Ecology
- 1 September 1993
The attraction of the red turpentine beetle,Dendroctonus valens, to the resin volatiles of its host,Pinus ponderosa, is elicited by three chiral monoterpenes. In field assays response was greatest to… Expand

Abstract Anacardic acids, 6-pentadec(en)ylsalicylic acids isolated from the cashew Anacardium occidentale L. (Anacardiaceae) nut and apple, were found to possess preventive antioxidant activity while… Expand
Ethnobotanical drug discovery based on medicine men's trials in the African savanna: screening of east African plants for antimicrobial activity II.
- M. Taniguchi, I. Kubo
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of natural products
- 1 September 1993
Antimicrobial activity of a number of East African plants was evaluated. The plants collected based on information provided by medicine men showed a much higher probability of finding active extracts… Expand
Kinetics of mushroom tyrosinase inhibition by quercetin.
The effects of quercetin on the activity of mushroom tyrosinase were studied. The equilibrium constants for this inhibitor binding with the enzyme molecule were established. The inhibition mechanism… Expand
Structural functions of antimicrobial long-chain alcohols and phenols.
Antimicrobial activity of a series of long-chain alcohols and common naturally occurring alcohols were tested against 15 selected microorganisms in order to gain new insights into their structural… Expand
Characterization of xanthine oxidase inhibition by anacardic acids.
- N. Masuoka, I. Kubo
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Biochimica et biophysica acta
- 5 April 2004
Anacardic acid, 6[8(Z), 11(Z), 14-pentadecatrienyl]salicylic acid, inhibits generation of superoxide radicals by xanthine oxidase. This inhibition does not follow a hyperbolic inhibition, depends on… Expand

Thirty-five populations ofIps pini (Say) and one population each ofIps avulsus (Eichhoff) andIps bonanseai (Hopkins) were analyzed for the enantiomeric composition of ipsdienol… Expand
Structure-antibacterial activity relationships of anacardic acids
- I. Kubo, H. Muroi, +5 authors T. Kamikawa
- Chemistry
- 1 June 1993
A series of anacardic acids possessing different side-chain lengths were synthesized, and their antimicrobial activity was tested. In the case against Staphylococcus aureus, the anacardic acid having… Expand
