monoterpene

α-Terpinene is a terpenoid,has acaricidal, antiprotozoal, and antioxidant properties

(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.

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

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.

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

Vallesiachotamine, a recognized monoterpene indole alkaloid, exhibits anti-tumor activity [1].

(R)-(+)-Citronellal ((+)-Citronellal) is a monoterpene compound isolated from citrus, lavender, and eucalyptus oils. It has antifungal activity and reduces the bitterness of caffeine by inhibiting bitter receptors TAS2R43 and TAS2R46. It is commonly used in skincare products.
