High impact information on Santalum

• Culture treatment with N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulfonamide reduced embryogenic frequency by 85%, indicating that blockage of Ca(2+)-mediated signaling pathway(s) involving sandalwood Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase and/or calmodulin causes the inhibition of embryogenesis [1].
• Sandalwood pro-embryogenic cell masses (PEMs) are obtained in the callus proliferation medium that contains the auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid [1].
• Olfactory receptor neuron profiling using sandalwood odorants [2].
• Sandalwood oil and four synthetic sandalwood molecules were selected to study the activation profile of endogenous olfactory receptors when exposed to compounds from the same odorant family [2].
• This study was designed to obtain basic information on changes in tissue FA composition and on the metabolic fate of XMYA in mice fed a sandalwood seed oil (SWSO)-enriched diet [3].

Biological context of Santalum

• Structure-activity relationships of sandalwood odorants: synthesis and odor of tricyclo beta-santalol [4].
• Effect of feeding quandong (Santalum acuminatum) oil to rats on tissue lipids, hepatic cytochrome P-450 and tissue histology [5].

Associations of Santalum with chemical compounds

• Three osmophoric points have been postulated to be necessary for the sandalwood scent of beta-santalol derivatives [6].
• Modulatory influence of sandalwood oil on mouse hepatic glutathione S-transferase activity and acid soluble sulphydryl level [7].
• This modification with a bulky aliphatic bridge in the neighborhood of the quaternary C3-atom demonstrated the sensitivity of sandalwood odor on the structure of beta-santalol analogues [4].
• Looking for more efficient sandalwood oil smelling compounds, new campholenic aldehyde derivatives with rigidifying cyclopropane rings were prepared [8].
• Cinnamic alcohol and sandalwood oil (Santalum album L.) showed high frequencies of positive responses [9].

Gene context of Santalum

• Oral feeding by gavage to mice each day with 5 and 15 microliters sandalwood oil for 10 and 20 days exhibited an increase in GST activity in time- and dose-responsive manners [7].
• Sandalwood oil prevent skin tumour development in CD1 mice [10].
• The effect of the oil from the wood of Santalum album on glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity and acid soluble sulphydryl (SH) levels in the liver of adult male Swiss albino mice was investigated [7].
