alpha-pinene

Description:

Alpha-pinene is a bicyclic monoterpene and a significant component of the essential oils of various coniferous trees, particularly pine. It is characterized by its distinctive pine-like aroma and is commonly used in the fragrance and flavor industries. The molecular formula of alpha-pinene is C10H16, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 136.24 g/mol. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a boiling point around 155-156°C. Alpha-pinene is known for its chiral nature, existing in two enantiomeric forms, (R)-alpha-pinene and (S)-alpha-pinene, with the (R)-form being more prevalent in nature. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Alpha-pinene exhibits various biological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, and is also studied for its potential in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, it plays a role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols in the atmosphere, contributing to air quality and climate dynamics.

α-PINENE

CAS: 2437-95-8

ALPHA-PINENE ((-)-Alpha-Pinene) is a bicyclic monoterpene found in pine trees and other plants, including Cannabis with diverse biological activities [1]. It reduces the growth of a panel of seven Gram-positive bacteria, seven Gram-negative bacteria, and eight yeast strains with MIC values of 0.75-1.29, 1.05-1.59, and 0.7-1.17%, respectively [2]. It has insecticidal activity against C. molestus larvae with LC50 values ranging from 47 to 49 mg/L.3 ALPHA-PINENE (100 μg/ml) induces apoptosis, increases anion superoxide production and DNA fragmentation, and activates caspase-3 in B16/F10 melanoma cells [4]. In a B16/F10 mouse xenograft model, ALPHA-PINENE(100 ml of a 10 mg/ml solution) reduces the number of metastatic lung nodules by approximately 7-fold. ALPHA-PINENE(8.6 mg/L, aerosol) also increases the time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze by approximately 2-fold in mice, indicating anxiolytic-like activity [5].
