Descripción

General description

(−)-Caryophyllene oxide or β-caryophyllene oxide (BCPO) is a natural plant compound, bicyclic sesquiterpene, and oxidation derivative of β-caryophyllene (BCP). It has a strong wooden odor. BCPO is commonly found in many food and spice plants and essential oils, such as basil, salvia, and Syzygium cordatum. It is widely used as a cosmetic and food additive.

Application

(−)-Caryophyllene oxide has been used:

• as an antimicrobial agent to study its effects against Gram-positive, Gram-negative and yeast strains
• as a commercial standard to perform quantification analysis of constitutes from Marchantia polymorpha extracts using gas chromatography with flame-ionization detection (GC-FID)
• as a reference standard to analyze the enantiomeric ratios of Achillea ligustica essential oil constituents using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-caryophyllene oxide is a potent anti-cancer agent which also exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. It is a strong inhibitor of drug-metabolizing enzyme cytochromes P4503A (CYP3A) activities both in rat and human hepatic microsomes. BCPO also exerts analgesic, antifungal, antibacterial, and genoprotective activities.

Other Notes

Carefully purified sesquiterpene; Stereoselective rearrangement to an allyl alcohol; Transformation to an amine
