Radical polymerization and preliminary microbiological investigation of new polymer derived from myrtenol

Antibacterial poly(ethylene terephthalate) surfaces obtained from thymyl methacrylate polymerization

“…Alternatively, many natural compounds possess known activity against a range of Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. We have previously shown the use of polymeric derivates from gaiacol (obtained from gaiac) and myrtenol (essential oil) to obtain anti‐adhesive and anti‐biofilm coating on glass slides …”

Antibacterial surfaces obtained through dopamine and fluorination functionalizations

“…This methodology is promising due to its ability to be extended to a large variety of chemical compounds able to react with functional groups coming from polydopamine coating. For example, we will study the covalent grafting of essential oils and vegetable derivatives due to their antibiofilm properties [35,36]. In addition, this strategy could be easily adapted for other substrates.…”

Syntheses and polymerization of monoterpene-based (meth)acrylates: IBO(M)A as a relevant monomer for industrial applications

“…39 Myrtenol ( 11 ) led to the corresponding acrylate A11 with yields of 62% after flash chromatography using a standard method with methacryloyl chloride, TEA, and diethyl ether. 40 Some monoterpenes have been converted to azoles and were then evaluated as potential antifungal agents. These azole derivatives required an α,β-unsaturated terpenoid precursor for aza-Michael addition.…”
