High impact information on octanal

  • This large number of receptors for octanal suggests that, although the peripheral olfactory system is endowed with high sensitivity, discrimination among different compounds probably requires further central processing [1].
  • Benzaldehyde dehydrogenase II could also oxidize the aliphatic aldehydes hexan-1-al and octan-1-al, although poorly [2].
  • For each isozyme, the Km and kcat values were measured at pH 7.0 with acetaldehyde, pentanal, octanal, benzaldehyde, and cyclohexanone as substrates [3].
  • Treatment with the ALDH substrate octanal sensitized the cells to the cytotoxic effects of 4HC to a modest extent in both MCF-7 and MCF/HC cells [dose modification factor (DMF) of 1.4 and 1.6, respectively] [4].
  • In this study we found that the rat olfactory receptor I7, stably expressed in HEK-293 cells, triggers the cAMP pathway upon stimulation by a specific odorant (octanal) at concentrations lower than 10(-4) M; however, the receptor triggers both pathways at higher concentrations [5].
 

Biological context of octanal

 

Anatomical context of octanal

  • The properties of the green pigments produced by incubating microsomes with either octanal or 1-ocytne have been compared [8].
 

Associations of octanal with other chemical compounds

  • In contrast, octanal and octadecanal produced microspheres with lower dissolution T75% values [9].
  • In addition to other reactions, the studied amines were converted into their corresponding Strecker aldehydes (octanal, benzaldehyde, and methyl 2-oxo-2-phenylacetate, respectively) to an extent that depended on the pH, the temperature, the amount of epoxyalkenal, and the amine involved [10].
  • The binding of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins extracted from postrigor pork muscle and from 7 and 12 months dry-cured hams with volatile compounds such as 3-methyl-butanal, 2-methyl-butanal, 2-pentanone, hexanal, methional, and octanal was studied using solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography analysis [11].
  • The purified enzyme had a molecular weight of 75,000 and reduced long chain fatty aldehydes such as octanal and hexadecanal with higher affinity (Km values of 0.21 mM and 0.03 mM, respectively) than for various artificial carbonyl compounds such as p-nitrobenzaldehyde and p-nitroacetophenone (Km values of 0.31 mM and 1.4 mM, respectively) [12].
  • The compounds that elicited large responses in both species of moths included linalool, acetophenone, and 4-allylanisole, while a number of compounds such as the aliphatic aldehydes octanal, nonanal, and decanal elicited a large response in B. fusca, but a significantly smaller response in C. partellus [13].
 

Gene context of octanal

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of octanal

  • Amperometric biosensors for the detection of hydrogen peroxide are prepared by adsorbing peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.7, lipophilized with caprylic aldehyde) to TTF-TCNQ/silicone oil paste electrodes [16].
  • Octanal and other aldehydes induce large EOG responses in the rodent olfactory epithelium, suggesting that these compounds activate a large number of odour receptors (ORs) [1].
