With respect to acute toxicity, simple alcohols have low acute toxicities. Doses of several milliliters are tolerated. 24034-73-9, formula is C20H34O, For pentanols, hexanols, octanols and longer alcohols, LD50 range from 2–5 g/kg (rats, oral). Ethanol is less acutely toxic.All alcohols are mild skin irritants. Application of C20H34O
Zambari, Izzah Farhah;Hafid, Sitti Rahma Abdul;Muhamad, Nur Airina research published 《 Optimisation of extraction method and phytochemical compounds of green Christia vespertilionis leaves using GC-MS》, the research content is summarized as follows. Christia vespertilionis (L. f.) Bakh. f. has been widely known in treating various contagious diseases. This plant is popular among researchers and locals to have anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. There are two types of C. vespertilionis which is green and red type. The green C. vespertilionis was extensively studied by many researchers and known by the public as a cure to the cancer. This study was carried out to identify major phytochems. and optimize extraction method of green C. vespertilionis leaves in different extraction techniques (maceration and Soxhlet extraction) and solvents (methanol and ethanol) through GC-MS anal. The green C. vespertilionis leaves extract was tested using Gas Chromatog. Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS). The components were identified by comparing National Institute of Standards and Technol. (NIST). Based on four samples which are green C. vespertilionis leaves using maceration of methanol (GMM), maceration of ethanol (GME), Soxhlet of methanol (GSM) and Soxhlet of ethanol (GSE), seventy phytochem. compounds were identified. Thirteen major phytochem. compounds (> 4% of peak area) are acetic acid, Bu ester; 1-Butanol, 3-methyl-, acetate; 1,3-Diisobutyrin, trimethylsilyl; .alpha.-d-Mannofuranoside, methyl; 1-Tetradecene; 1-Hexadecene; 1-Octadecene; Hexanoic acid, 3-oxo-, Et ester; 4-O-Methylmannose; n-Hexadecanoic acid; Phytol; 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, (Z,Z,Z)- and Squalene. Only ten out of thirteen compounds were reported to have biol. activities. Among those samples, GMM and GSM were the most effective using correlation coefficient anal. between peak area (%) vs. real time (min) with significant difference at P < 0.001.
Application of C20H34O, Geranylgeraniol is a diterpenoid that is hexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraene substituted by methyl groups at positions 3, 7, 11 and 15 and a hydroxy group at position 1. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a volatile oil component and an antileishmanial agent. It is a diterpenoid and a polyprenol.
Geranylgeraniol, a precursor to geranylgeranylpyrophosphate, is an intermediate in the mevalonate pathway. Geranylgeraniol has been shown to prevent bone re-absorption, inhibition of osteoclast formation, and kinase activation in vitro. When working with statins, Geranylgeraniol can reduce the toxicity without inhibiting the cholesterol-producing effects. Geranylgeraniol has been documented to counteract the effects of fluvastatin by inhibiting activation of caspase-1 and production of IL-1. Additionally Geranylgeraniol has been found to induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells.
