Oxypaeoniflorin a monoterpene glycoside compound isolated from Paeoniae, is an antioxidant, is neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory.

α-Thujone is an inhibitor of ACh with an IC50 value of 24.7μM.

(R)-Citronellol ((R)-(+)-β-Citronellol) is found in herbs and spices, as well as bilberry. (R)-Citronellol is a constituent of black cumin (Nigella sativa) seeds. (R)-Citronellol is a common constituent of plant oils, especially in the Rutaceae.

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.

DL-Menthol ((±)-Menthol) is a racemic mixture of the monoterpene alcohols (–)-menthol and (+)-menthod, which have been found in Cannabis. (–)-Menthol is more common than (+)-menthol in nature and exhibits analgesic, antibacterial, and anticancer properties, as well as inhibits cholinesterase.2 (+)-Menthol inhibits the growth of F. verticillioides (MIC: 1.5 mM) but, unlike (–)-menthol, does not exhibit analgesic, antibacterial, anticancer, or cholinesterase inhibitory activities.

Citral A monoterpene, obtained from the essential oil of lemongrass, which has anti-pain and anti-inflammatory properties.

Perillyl Alcohol is a naturally occurring monoterpene related to limonene with antineoplastic activity. Perillyl alcohol (Isocarveol) inhibits farnesyl transferase and geranylgeranyl transferase, thereby preventing post-translational protein farnesylation and isoprenylation and activation of oncoproteins such as p21-ras, and arresting tumor cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.

Thymol, also known as Pseudoaspidin, is a principal monoterpene phenol found in the essential oils of plants from the Lamiaceae family, along with several other families including Verbenaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Ranunculaceae, and Apiaceae. This compound exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

Geranyl acetate is a monoterpene that has been found in C. sativa with diverse biological activities.

Fenchyl alcohol is a monoterpene alcohol extracted from the essential oil of Douglas fir leaves and used as a flavor. It significantly inhibits the activity of rumen microorganisms in sheep and deer.

Nerol (Neryl alcohol) is a monoterpene found in many essential oils, such as lemon balm and hop.Nerol can lessened the severity of ouabain-triggered arrhythmias in mammalian heart.

(+)-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.

(-)-α-Terpineol has antitumour, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, it inhibits the growth of tumour cells through a mechanism that involves inhibition of the NF-kappaB pathway

Isoborneol (DL-Isoborneol) is a monoterpene alcohol, with neuroprotective and antiviral activities

Epoxylinalool (2-(2-Hydroxy-2-Propyl)-5-Methyl-5-Vinyltetrahydrofuran) is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol widely used in the production of perfumes and flavors.

Citronellal ((±)-Citronellal) is a monoterpene predominantly formed by the secondary metabolism of plants, producing antithrombotic, antiplatelet, and antihypertensive activities.

Menthofuran is a natural product.

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

(S)-(−)-Perillyl alcohol (Perillyl alcohol), a monoterpene found in lavender, inhibits Ras farnesylation, upregulates the mannose-6-phosphate receptor, induces apoptosis, and exhibits anti-cancer activity.

Benzylideneacetone, a monoterpene produced by the insect pathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila, is a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor with inhibitory effects on arachidonoid biosynthesis and enhances baculovirus pathogenicity of Xylaria minor.

(±)-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.

1,4-Cineole (Isocineole) is a natural, oxygenated monoterpene. 1,4-Cineole can activate both human TRPM8 and human TRPA1.
