exposure for short space of time. On the other hand, the extracts showed significant antinociceptive effect when tested in the hot plate model. The most active natural product as antinociceptive agent was hofmeisterin III (1) which also was the most stable in the stability study. Its pharmacological effect seems to be partially mediated by an opioid mechanism since naloxone inhibits its action. Using compound
Derivatisation of parent structure in terpenoids often results in enhancement of biological activity of newly obtained compounds. Thymol, a naturally occurring phenol biosynthesized through the terpene pathway, is a well known biocide with strong antimicrobial attributes and diverse therapeutic activities. We have aimed our study on a single modification of phenolic functionality in thymol in order to obtain a small focused library of twenty thymyl esters, ten of which were new compounds. All compounds were involved in in vitro antimicrobial testing. Another important aspect of current study was implementation of in silico calculation of physico-chemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties, which could be helpful by giving an additional guidance in further research.
