Common NameLinalool oxide
DescriptionLinalool oxide belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oxolanes. These are organic compounds containing an oxolane (tetrahydrofuran) ring, which is a saturated aliphatic five-member ring containing one oxygen and five carbon atoms. The less common form of linalool oxide is based on a six member, pyran-like structure. In addition to being classified ans an oxolane, linalool oxide is also classified as a monoterpene. 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 the 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. Both cis and trans forms of linalool oxide exist. Linalool oxide is a naturally occurring compound derived from linalool. Linalool and linalool oxide are found in more than 200 different species of plants, including many flowers and spice plants including those from Lamiaceae (mint and other herbs), Lauraceae (laurels, cinnamon, rosewood), and Rutaceae (citrus fruits). Linalool oxide has pleasant scent (floral, herbal, earthy or green). The furan-based linalool oxide has a floral character, somewhat reminiscent of lavender, but this is dominated by the profile of black tea. The pyran-based linalool oxide is more obviously floral, with less resemblance to tea. Linalool oxide is an approved food additive (as a flavor or fragrance agent) and can be found in baked goods, soft candy, beverages and frozen dairy products. Linalool oxide is one of the many monoterpenes found in cannabis plants and their essential oils. (PMID: 6991645 ). There are more than 140 known terpenes in cannabis and the combination of these terepenoids produces the skunky, fruity odor characteristic of C. savita. Linalool oxide exhibits clear antinociceptive (pain reduction) and anticonvulsant effects at relatively modest doses (50 mg/kg) in animal studies (PMID: 27622736 ). Approximately 7% of people undergoing patch testing in Europe were found to be allergic to linalool oxide ( PMID: 28960261 ).
