Chemical Information

FooDB Name

Azulene

Description

Azulene, also known as cyclopentacycloheptene or azulekeep, is a member of the class of compounds known as azulenes. Azulenes are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing the azulene skeleton, which consists of the cyclopentadiene ring fused to a cycloheptadiene ring. Azulene can be found in a number of food items such as anise, roman camomile, peppermint, and german camomile, which makes azulene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Azulene is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Azulene is an organic compound and an isomer of naphthalene. Whereas naphthalene is colourless, azulene is dark blue. Two terpenoids, vetivazulene (4,8-dimethyl-2-isopropylazulene) and guaiazulene (1,4-dimethyl-7-isopropylazulene), that feature the azulene skeleton are found in nature as constituents of pigments in mushrooms, guaiac wood oil, and some marine invertebrates . PAHs are carcinogens and have been associated with the increased risk of skin, respiratory tract, bladder, stomach, and kidney cancers. They may also cause reproductive effects and depress the immune system (L10) (T3DB).

anti pyretic	35493	A drug that prevents or reduces fever by lowering the body temperature from a raised state. An antipyretic will not affect the normal body temperature if one does not have fever. Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override an interleukin-induced increase in temperature. The body will then work to lower the temperature and the result is a reduction in fever.	DUKE
