Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameBeta-Eudesmol
DescriptionBeta-Eudesmol, also known as beta-selinenol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as eudesmane, isoeudesmane or cycloeudesmane sesquiterpenoids. These are sesquiterpenoids with a structure based on the eudesmane skeleton. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes that contain 15 carbon atoms and are comprised of three isoprene units. The biosynthesis of sesquiterpenes is known to occur mainly through the mevalonic acid pathway (MVA), in the cytosol. However, recent studies have found evidence of pathway crosstalk with the methyl-eritritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the plastid (PMID: 19932496 , 17710406 ). Farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of cyclic sesquiterpenes. FPP undergoes several cyclization reactions to yield a diverse number of cyclic arrangements. Beta-eudesmol is a green and wood tasting compound that can be found in a number of food items such as common walnut, sweet basil, ginkgo nuts, burdock, and ginger (PMID: 18242187 ). Beta-eudesmol has also been identified in Cannabis sativa extracts (PMID: 6991645 , 26657499 ).
