α-Phenyllongifolol

CAS: 946513-19-5

α-Phenyllongifolol is a sesquiterpenoid compound, which is derived primarily from certain plant species known for their essential oil production. This compound is biosynthesized through the mevalonate pathway, a critical metabolic route in plants responsible for terpene production. The mode of action of α-Phenyllongifolol involves disrupting microbial cell membranes, exhibiting potent antimicrobial properties. It interferes with the lipid bilayer, leading to increased permeability and, subsequently, cell death.
