Common Namedelta4-carene
DescriptionDelta-4-Carene or (+)-4-Carene, or simply 4-Carene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Delta4-Carene is also classified as a cycloalkene (with molecular formula of C10H16) although it is biochemically a monoterpenoid as it synthesized via multiple isoprene units. 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-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in 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. There are several isomers of Carene, including Delta-2-Carene, Delta-3-Carene and Delta-4-Carene. Delta-4-Carene is a hydrophobic, neutral molecule that is insoluble in water. Delta-4-Carene has been detected, but not quantified in rosemary, black currants and as a volatile component in tomatoes (PMID: 24096821 ). It exhibits larvicidal activities and appears to be active against the third stage larvae of mosquitoes that carry malaria, Dengue and filariasis (PMID: 27151483 ). It is one of many terpenes that are found in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ). Delta-4-Carene is one of more than 140 terpenes in cannabis and the combination of these terpenoids produces the skunky, fruity odor characteristic of C. savita.
