Chemical Information
FooDB Name(+)-Myrtenol
DescriptionMyrtenol or 2-Pinen-10-ol, also known as pin-2-ene-10-ol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. 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. Myrtenol is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Myrtenol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Myrtenol can be used as a food additive or a food flavoring agent and can also be used in cosmetics. It is naturally present in mandarin peel oil, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, ginger, hop oil, black tea, peppermint oil, pepper (Piper nigrum), myrtle leaf or berry, summer savoury (Satureja hortensis) and other spices or foodstuffs including hyssops, rosemaries, and spearmints. This could make, Myrtenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Myrtenol has a woody, minty or medicinal aroma and has a cooling minty, campherous medicinal taste. Myrtenol (along with isopulegol, verbenol, and pinocarveol) are particularly potent modifiers of GABA(A) receptor function and this interaction may lead to certain sedative effects found in plants or plant oils that contain this compound (PMID: 24273211).
