Protective effects of alpha-pinene in mice with cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis

Evaluation of the chemical composition of essential oils with respect to the maturity of flower heads of Arnica montana L. and Arnica chamissonis Less. cultivated for industry

“…As reported in previous papers, alpha-pinene exhibits a wide spectrum of bioactivity, i.e. antiinflammatory (Bae et al, 2012), …”

Effect of the treatment with Achyrocline satureioides (free and nanocapsules essential oil) and diminazene aceturate on hematological and biochemical parameters in rats infected by Trypanosoma evansi

“…Previous studies have reported that alpha-pinene has an anti-inflammatory effect against carrageenin and lipopolysaccharide challenges (Martin et al, 1993;Zhou et al, 2004). According to Bae et al (2012) Alphapinene has the ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine production in mice with cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis, contributing to the attenuation of the inflammatory process. Therefore, we believe that the alpha-pinene is responsible for the antiinflammatory activity observed in this study by reducing the total number of leukocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes.…”

In vitro neuroprotective potential of the monoterpenes α-pinene and 1,8-cineole against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in PC12 cells

“…Emerging evidence suggests the action of 1,8-cineole and α-pinene as antioxidants [25][26][27][28]. However, little is known by which mechanisms antioxidants provide protection against oxidative stress.…”
