Common Name | Alloaromadendrene |

Description | Alloaromadendrene or Aromadendrene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 5,10-cycloaromadendrane sesquiterpenoids. These are aromadendrane sesquiterpenoids that arise from the C5-C10 cyclization of the aromadendrane skeleton. Aromadendrene is formally classified as a polycyclic hydrocarbon although it is biochemically a sesquiterpene. Sesquiterpenes 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-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the cytosol. 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. Aromadendrene is a neutral, hydrophobic molecule that is largely insoluble in water. It exists as a colorless, clear liquid. Aromadendrene has a woody, musty odor. It is found in a number of plants and spices including allspice, anise fruit, cloves, eucalyptus, ginger, guava, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme and the essential oil of indigenous cinnamon. Alloaromadendrene is also found in cannabis plants, but only in trace amounts (PMID: 6991645 ). Alloaromadendrene appears to exhibit antioxidant activity and has been shown to delay aging in C. elegans (PMID: 24918691 ). |
