Abstract
|
Carvacrol is one of the main components of the some essential oils in some Labiatae
(Laminaceae) members like oregano, thyme and savory. Carvacrol has a lot of health benefits
such as, antibacterial and antioxidant activity. We synthesized some silicon derivatives of
carvacrol and characterized them by standard methods. The monomer of dimethylvinylsilyl
carvacrol was also synthesized. The copolymer of the synthesized monomer with methacrylic
acid (MAA) was prepared with different ratios. Some of them can be used as drug delivery
systems in the pH = 1, and7.4.
