Santiago SYNTHESIS, LARVICIDAL AND ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITIES OF CARVACROL/THYMOL AND DERIVATIVES SciELO journals 2018 carvacrol thymol acetylcholinesterase Aedes aegypti 2018-06-06 02:44:22 Dataset https://scielo.figshare.com/articles/dataset/SYNTHESIS_LARVICIDAL_AND_ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE_INHIBITORY_ACTIVITIES_OF_CARVACROL_THYMOL_AND_DERIVATIVES/6448271 <div><p>In order to produce bioactive derivatives of carvacrol and thymol, nine derivatives of each compound were prepared through modifications the phenolic hydroxyl group. The structures of compounds were confirmed by spectral data from MS, IR and NMR. Carvacrol, thymol and derivatives were submitted to the evaluation of the inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, using a colorimetric method in which the inhibition of the enzyme is measured by coloration, and larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti. Derivatives carvacryl acetate-1b and thymyl hexanoate-2b showed the best results for the inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, and for the larvicidal activity the derivatives 1a, 1b, 1c, 3h, 2a, 2b, 2c and 4h showed positive results, emphasizing compound thymyl 4-methoxybenzoate-4h which showed LC50 values of 23.60 ppm, considered a very good result.</p></div>
