Chemical Information
FooDB NameRotundifolone
DescriptionRotundifolone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oxepanes. Oxepanes are compounds containing an oxepane ring, which is a seven-member saturated aliphatic heterocycle with one oxygen and six carbon atoms. Rotundifolone is a herbal and minty tasting compound. Rotundifolone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within spearmints (Mentha spicata) and cornmints (Mentha arvensis). Rotundifolone has also been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices. This could make rotundifolone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Rotundifolone.

Insecticide24852 An agent that kills or repels insects, used to control pests and prevent disease transmission. Therapeutically, insecticides have applications in public health and veterinary medicine, key medical uses include controlling insect-borne diseases such as malaria, typhus, and Lyme disease.DUKE
Pesticide25944 An agent that kills or repels pests, playing a biological role in controlling insect, weed, and fungal populations. Therapeutically, pesticides have limited applications, but some are used to treat ectoparasitic infestations, such as lice and scabies. Key medical uses include topical treatments for head lice and scabies, highlighting their role in managing parasitic infections.DUKE
