(Burseraceae) is a medicinal plant, which is used locally by the local dwellers for the management and treatment of microbial-related diseases, neurological conditions, stomach spasms, diabetes, etc. Objectives: This study aimed at isolating a phytochemical of ...

While β-boswellic acid is very readily available by extraction from frankincense resin, the accessibility of α-boswellic from the resin involved great effort and tedious purification procedures. Alternatively, a partial synthesis from readily available oleanolic acid was developed, the key steps of ...

In this work, first and second dimensional retention index (¹I and ²I) based calculation approach is established to simulate peak retention times (¹t_R and ²t_R) of samples for the given sets of volatile compounds in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC×GC-MS). For...

One of the challenges in determination of essential oils components using GSMS is the variation of the retention time observed. Kovat index was calculated for each compound identified in eight essential oils samples while the fragmentation pattern of four compounds were illustrated. Kovat index...

The seasonal variation of proteins and amino acids content have been investigated from leaves, wood and bark of Boswellia serrata and Rhus mysorensis are the medicinal important plant of Laling forest Dhule district of Maharashtra. Comparative account of protein content of leaves, wood and bark of ...

Room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) are well established stationary phases (SPs) for gas chromatography (GC) in several fields of applications because of their unique and tunable selectivity, low vapor pressure and volatility, high thermal stability (over 300°C), and good chromatographic...

Frankincense, an oleoresin produced by Boswellia species, has historical medicinal and religious significance, and is today used extensively for its essential oil. Boswellia dalzielii, a species found in West Africa, is one of the few frankincense species for which there is no information on the...

Incensole and its acetate have shown anti-inflammatory and anti-depression activities due to their ability to activate ion channels in the brain to alleviate anxiety or depression. The natural occurrence of these two structurally and medicinally fascinating 14-membered diterpenoids was reported...

Frankincense, the oleo-gum-resin of Boswellia trees, has been an important religious and medicinal element for thousands of years, and today is used extensively for essential oils. One of the most popular frankincense species is Boswellia sacra Flueck. (syn. Boswellia carteri Birdw.) from Somalia...

Extensive research during last 2 decades has revealed that most drugs discovered today, although costs billions of dollars for discovery, and yet they are highly ineffective in their clinical response. For instance, the European Medicines Agency has approved 68 anti-cancer drugs, and out of which...
