<p>Stability Air Sensitive<br>Applications Levopimaric Acid is a major component of pine oleoresin. It is an abietane-type of diterpene resin acid and has antibacterial, cardiovascular, and antioxidant properties.<br>References Kersten, P. J., et al.: J. Chem. Ecol., 32(12), 2679-85 (2006)<br></p>

<p>Sabinene is a bicyclic monoterpene, which is a volatile organic compound typically derived from the essential oils of various plants, including Norway spruce and some culinary herbs like black pepper, nutmeg, and tea tree. It is characterized by its distinct spicy and woody aroma, contributing to the complex bouquet of these plant essences.</p>

<p>Harpagoside is a bioactive compound, which is an iridoid glycoside derived from the root of the plant Harpagophytum procumbens, commonly known as Devil’s Claw. This compound is predominantly sourced from Southern Africa, where the plant is native to semi-arid regions and has been traditionally used in herbal medicine.</p>

<p>Gamma-Himachalene is a sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, which is primarily sourced from the essential oils of certain plants, such as cedarwood. As a naturally occurring compound, its biosynthesis within the plant involves the cyclization of isoprenoid units, which gives rise to its unique chemical structure. This process is typically mediated by enzymes that facilitate the formation of various terpene compounds.</p>

<p>Ryanodine receptor effector</p>

<p>Dehydrocostus lactone is a sesquiterpene lactone, which is a natural compound extracted from plants, notably from the roots of Saussurea lappa, a plant known for its therapeutic properties. This compound exerts its mode of action primarily through the inhibition of key inflammatory pathways, including the NF-κB pathway. By interfering with these pathways, dehydrocostus lactone can modulate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects.</p>

<p>Strigolactone GR24 is a synthetic analog of strigolactones, which are a class of plant hormones derived from the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway. These compounds play a critical role in plant development and interaction with the environment. Strigolactone GR24 functions by mimicking the action of natural strigolactones, influencing plant architecture and facilitating communication with symbiotic organisms.</p>

<p>Alpha-terpineol is a terpene alcohol that exhibits cytotoxic effects on cells. It has been shown to cause cell lysis in both bacteria and mammalian cells, which may be due to its reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Alpha-terpineol is also an effective agent against infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. This molecule has a high resistance to chemical degradation, making it a promising anticancer agent. Alpha-terpineol can inhibit the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by binding to the enzyme DNA polymerase, thereby preventing the synthesis of DNA molecules. It can also bind to the enzyme RNA polymerase and inhibit the transcription of mRNA into protein molecules. Lastly, alpha-terpineol is known for its genotoxic effects in vivo and in vitro. The genotoxicity of alpha-terpineol has been demonstrated using several different methods including electron microscopy, chemical stability assays, surface methodology experiments on kidney bean extract,</p>

<p>Albiflorin is a bioactive compound, which is a monoterpene glucoside extracted from the roots of Paeonia species, specifically Paeonia lactiflora. Its primary mechanism of action involves the modulation of neurotransmitter systems, including serotonergic, dopaminergic, and GABAergic pathways. Such interactions are believed to underpin its effects on neural activity and psychological states.</p>
