Chemical Information
FooDB Namealpha-Ionone
DescriptionAlpha-ionone, also known as (E)-α-ionone or alpha-cyclocitrylideneacetone, is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Alpha-ionone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Alpha-ionone is a sweet, floral, and fruity tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as tea, wild carrot, wild celery, and ginkgo nuts, which makes alpha-ionone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Alpha-ionone can be found primarily in saliva. Alpha-ionone exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Alpha-ionone is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound.

Allergenic50904 A substance that triggers an immune response, causing allergic reactions. Its biological role is to stimulate the immune system, but it has no therapeutic applications. Key medical uses include diagnosing allergies and developing immunotherapies to desensitize patients to specific allergens, reducing the risk of severe reactions.DUKE
Cytochrome-P450-1A inducerAn agent that stimulates cytochrome-P450-1A enzyme activity, enhancing phase I metabolism of xenobiotics and drugs, and activating aromatic hydrocarbons. Therapeutically, it aids in detoxification and is used in managing conditions like cancer and toxic exposures.DUKE
Cytochrome-P450-2B inducerAn agent that stimulates cytochrome-P450-2B activity, enhancing drug metabolism, particularly for anti-cancer drugs like cyclophosphamide, and lipid synthesis, with therapeutic applications in cancer treatment and potentially managing lipid disorders.DUKE
Perfume48318 A fragrant substance with a biological role in attracting and repelling, having therapeutic applications in aromatherapy for mood enhancement and stress relief. Key medical uses include anxiety reduction, mood elevation, and pain management, with some fragrances exhibiting anti-anxiety and anti-depressant properties.DUKE
TremorigenicAn agent that induces tremors, causing involuntary muscle contractions and relaxation, often used in research to study movement disorders, with potential therapeutic applications in neurology and psychiatry, particularly in managing conditions like Parkinson's disease and essential tremor.DUKE
