  • Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep has an essential role in the process of learning and memory in the hippocampus. It has been reported that linalool, a major component of Lavandula angustifolia, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects, along with other effects. However, the effect of linalool on the cognitive impairment and behavioral alterations that are induced by REM-sleep deprivation has not yet been elucidated. Several studies have reported that REM-sleep deprivation-induced memory deficits provide a well-known model of behavioral alterations. In the present study, we examined whether linalool elicited an anti-stress effect, reversing the behavioral alterations observed following REM-sleep deprivation in mice. Furthermore, we investigated the underlying mechanism of the effect of linalool. Spatial memory and learning memory were assessed through Y maze and passive avoidance tests, respectively, and the forced swimming test was used to evaluate anti-stress activity. The mechanisms through which linalool improves memory loss and behavioral alterations in sleep-deprived mice appeared to be through an increase in the serotonin levels. Linalool significantly ameliorated the spatial and learning memory deficits, and stress activity observed in sleep-deprived animals. Moreover, linalool led to serotonin release, and cortisol level reduction. Our findings suggest that linalool has beneficial effects on the memory loss and behavioral alterations induced by REM-sleep deprivation through the regulation of serotonin levels.

  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the important causative microbes for nosocomial infection and has been isolated from the dental environment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of linalool and ${\alpha}$-terpineol against MRSA isolates from a Korean population. In the experiments, we determined the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) of these two compounds against 18 strains of MRSA. The data revealed that the $MIC_{90}/MBC_{90}$ values of linalool and ${\alpha}$-terpineol against MRSA were >12.8 mg/ml and 6.4 mg/ml, respectively. These results indicate that ${\alpha}$-terpineol has more potent antimicrobial activity against MRSA than linalool and may have utility as an anti-MRSA cleansing agent for dental instruments and dental unit chairs.

  • Headspace hanging drop liquid phase micro-extraction (HS-HD-LPME) is studied as a novel solvent-based sample pretreatment method for floral volatile aroma compounds. This paper reports on application of the HSHD- LPME combined with GC-MS for the analysis of linalool component emitted from evening primrose flowers. The effect of several variables on the method performance was investigated. Additionally, the separation of enantiomers on a cyclodextrin capillary column was performed to identify chirality of (−)-linalool component. Since the unsurpassed volume of a few micro-liters of solvent is used, there is minimal waste or exposure to toxic organic solvents. This method enables to combine extraction, enrichment, clean-up, and sample introduction into a single step prior to the chromatographic process.

  • To determine whether the essential oil from Coriandum sativum and its main component, linalool, exhibit antifungal activity, we employed a broth dilution assay and disk diffusion test using common pathogenic Candida and Trichophyton species. Both coriander oil and linalool significantly inhibited growth of the tested fungi, with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) in the range of $0.03{\sim}2mg/ml$. Furthermore, in a checkerboard titer test, both the oil fraction and linalool exhibited synergism when combined with ketoconazole, with resultant FICIs ranging from 0.06 to 0.53. Notably, hyphal formation in C. albicans cells was obviously inhibited by C. sativum essential oil in this experiment.

  • 서양등골나물의 휘발성 추출물에 포함된 terpenoid 화합물을 분리, 동정하였고, 주요 물질 4종에 대한 종자발아와 유식물 생장을 조사하였다. 서양등골나물 정유에 포함된 화합물의 수는 $\beta$-caryophyllene, $\alpha$-terpinenol, chamazulene, bornyl acetate, $\alpha$-pinene등 총 49종이었으며, 그 중 3종은 미확인되었다. 서양등골나물의 정유로부터 분리 확인한 휘발성 화학물질 중 다량 함유되어 있거나 중요한 성분으로 판명된 $\alpha$-pinene, bornyl acetate, linalool 및 terpinen-4-ol 등 4종의 물질에 대한 녹두의 발아 억제 효과를 조사하였다. linalool과 terpinen-4-ol에 의해서는 녹두의 종자가 전혀 발아하지 못하여 발아 억제효과가 매우 큰 것으로 보인다. 정유 내 화합물에 의한 녹두 유식물의 초기 생장 결과, $\alpha$-pinene과 bornyl acetate에 대한 묘조와 유근의 생장은 농도에 따라 점점 억제되었고, linalool과 terpinen-4-ol에 대해서는 실험구에서 생장 반응이 나타나지 않을 만큼 강하게 억제반응이 나타났다. 생체량에 있어서 $\alpha$-pinene의 경우 58 ${\mu}l$ 이상에서 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었으며, bornyl acetate의 경우에는 19 ${\mu}l$ 이상에서 감소하는 것으로 나타났으나 그 이후에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내지는 않았다. 위의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 정유 내에 포함된 서양등골나물의 알레로 화합물 중 생물검정에 사용된 $\alpha$-pinene, bornyl acetate, linalool과 terpinen-4-ol은 식물의 발아 억제 효과를 나타내는 주요한 물질 중 하나로 생각되며, 특히 linalool과 terpinen-4-ol은 다른 식물의 생장을 감소시키는 데 탁월한 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

  • The aim of our study was to investigate the protective effects of intraperitoneally-administrated vitamin E, dl-alpha lipoic acid, and linalool on the level of total lipid and fatty acid in guinea pig brains with oxidative stress that was induced by $H_2O_2$. The total brain lipid content in the $H_2O_2$ group decreased when compared to the $H_2O_2$ + vitamin E (p<0.05), $H_2O_2$ + linalool (p<0.05), ALA (p<0.05), control (p<0.01), linalool (p<0.01), and vitamin E (p<0.01) groups. While the proportion of total saturated fatty acid (${\Sigma}SFA$) in the $H_2O_2$ group significantly increased (p<0.005) when compared to the vitamin E group, it only slightly increased (p<0.01) when compared to the control and $H_2O_2$ + vitamin E groups. The ratio of the total unsaturated fatty acid (${\Sigma}USFA$) in the $H_2O_2$ groups was lower (p<0.05) than the control, vitamin E, and $H_2O_2$ + vitamin E groups. The level of the total polyunsaturated fatty acid (${\Sigma}PUEA$) in the $H_2O_2$ group decreased in when compared to the control, vitamin E, and $H_2O_2$ + vitamin E groups. While the proportion of the total w3 (omega 3), w6 (omega 6), and PUFA were found to be lowest in the $H_2O_2$ group, they were slightly increased (p<0.05) in the lipoic acid group when compared to the control and $H_2O_2$ + lipoic acid groups. However, the level of ${\Sigma}SFA$ in the $H_2O_2$ group was highest; the level of ${\Sigma}USFA$ in same group was lowest. As the proportion of ${\Sigma}USFA$ and ${\Sigma}PUFA$ were found to be highest in the linalool group, they were decreased in the $H_2O_2$ group when compared to the control group. Our results show that linalool has antioxidant properties, much the same as vitamin E and lipoic acid, to prevent lipid peroxidation. Additionally, vitamin E, lipoic acid, and linalool could lead to therapeutic approaches for limiting damage from oxidation reaction in unsaturated fatty acids, as well as for complementing existing therapy for the treatment of complications of oxidative damage.
