bicyclic monoterpene

Sabinene is a natural product that has antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties

3-Carene(Delta-3-Carene) is a bicyclic monoterpene extracted from western larch and Douglas-fir that acts as a phytofungicide.3-Carene inhibits inflammatory infiltrates and COX-2 overexpression induced by nociceptive stimuli.3-Carene has anti-injury properties and promotes the activity and expression of alkaline phosphatase, an early marker of osteoblast differentiation.

Camphor (2-Camphanone) is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone found widely in plants, especially CINNAMOMUM CAMPHORA. It is used topically as a skin antipruritic and as an anti-infective agent.

(+)-BORNEOL (d-Borneol) is a natural bicyclic monoterpene used for analgesia and anesthesia in traditional Chinese medicine; enhances GABA receptor activity with an EC50 of 248 μM.

Isobornyl acetate is a natural product derived from the essential oil of the lemongrass plant and is a bicyclic monoterpene. It is used in a variety of applications, including as a flavoring agent, a fragrance ingredient, and a pharmaceutical ingredient.

ALPHA-PINENE ((-)-Alpha-Pinene) is a bicyclic monoterpene found in pine trees and other plants, including Cannabis with diverse biological activities [1]. It reduces the growth of a panel of seven Gram-positive bacteria, seven Gram-negative bacteria, and eight yeast strains with MIC values of 0.75-1.29, 1.05-1.59, and 0.7-1.17%, respectively [2]. It has insecticidal activity against C. molestus larvae with LC50 values ranging from 47 to 49 mg/L.3 ALPHA-PINENE (100 μg/ml) induces apoptosis, increases anion superoxide production and DNA fragmentation, and activates caspase-3 in B16/F10 melanoma cells [4]. In a B16/F10 mouse xenograft model, ALPHA-PINENE(100 ml of a 10 mg/ml solution) reduces the number of metastatic lung nodules by approximately 7-fold. ALPHA-PINENE(8.6 mg/L, aerosol) also increases the time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze by approximately 2-fold in mice, indicating anxiolytic-like activity [5].

(±)-Myrtenol is the specific enantiomeric form of the bicyclic monoterpene alcohol known as Myrtenol. (-)-Myrtenol has been demonstrated to possess significant anti-anxiety effects in preclinical behavioral models; additionally, (-)-Myrtenol exhibits characteristics of gastric cell protection, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for gastrointestinal conditions.

β-Pinene belongs to the bicyclic monoterpene organic compounds, which contain two precisely connected cyclic structures. It can be used as a natural raw material for the synthesis of fragrances and essences, and also as an intermediate for the preparation of resins, solvents and other chemical products.

2-Carene is a naturally occurring bicyclic monoterpene found in many essential oils such as pine, cedar and cypress. It has been found to have anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial activities, as well as antioxidant, antitumor and antiallergic activities, and neuroprotective, cardioprotective and hepatoprotective effects.
