Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameSabinene
DescriptionSabinene or 4(10)-thujene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids which contain 2 rings fused to each other. Thus, sabinene is an isoprenoid lipid molecule. It is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water and relatively neutral. Monoterpenoids are terpenes that contain 10 carbon atoms and are comprised of two isoprene units. The biosynthesis of monoterpenes is known to occur mainly through the methyl-eritritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in plant cell plastids (PMID: 7640522 ). Geranyl diphosphate (GPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of cyclic monoterpenes. GPP undergoes several cyclization reactions to yield a diverse number of cyclic arrangements. Sabinene has a citrus, pepper, and pine taste and is responsible for the spiciness of pepper. Sabinene is found in the essential oils of a variety of plants/trees including the holm oak, Norway spruce, bay laurel (Laurus nobilis). common sage, and true nutmeg (Myristica fragrans tree; PMID: 5615546 ). Sabinene is also found in trace amounts in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ). Sabinene is found in highest concentrations in nutmegs, tarragons, and sweet bay and in lower concentrations in common sages, caraway, and star anises. Sabinene has also been detected in saffrons, sunflowers, yellow bell peppers, summer savories, and pepper (C. annuum). Sabinene can be used as flavorings, perfume additives, fine chemicals, and advanced biofuels. The microbial biosynthesis of sabinene has been well studied to facilitate the industrial production of this important compound (PMID: 29264773 ). Sabinene has some medicinal properties as it induced recovery of myotube shrinkage in fasting rats, suggesting that it may reverse muscle atrophy (PMID: 31597276 ).
