Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameCaryophyllene oxide
DescriptionCaryophyllene oxide, an oxidation product of caryophyllene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These 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; PMID:17467679 ), in the cytosol. However, recent studies have found evidence of pathway crosstalk with the methyl-eritritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the cytosol (PMID: 23746261 ). 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. Caryophyllene oxide is neutral compound, a pale yellow white crystalline solid with a sweet, fresh, dry woody, spicy odor and an old wood, carrot, amber flavor ( Ref:DOI ). Caryophyllene oxide is one of the many sesquiterpenes found in cannabis plants and their essential oils. Caryophyllene oxide was isolated from cannabis plant “drug-type” with generally less caryophyllene oxide than “fiber-type” (hemp) Cannabis (PMID: 6991645 ). Caryophyllene oxide is a volatile compound found in different species of citrus fruits ( Ref:DOI ). Almost 10% of caryophyllene oxide was detected in baccharis coridifolia oil from Argentina (9.80%) with 8.20%, found in guava leaf oil from Cuba, 5.10% in guava fruit oil from Reunion, 3.40% in curry wood leaf oil from Australia and 3.73% in lavender stem oil from Lithuania ( Ref:DOI ). By contrast, caryophyllene oxide is one of the major compounds found in the essential oil of Salvia spinosa (63.0%). Salvia spinosa essential oil has antimicrobial, cytotoxicity, antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities ( Ref:DOI ).
