Description

(-)-Borneol is a monoterpenoid that is found in plants such as Angelica Dahurica, Salvia Miltiorrhiza, and Rhizoma Gastrodiae. (-)-Borneol has been shown to inhibit the activity of complex enzymes such as fructosyltransferase, which is involved in the synthesis of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This compound also displays significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells and induces apoptosis by inhibiting DNA binding activity. (-)-Borneol also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as asthma. It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by blocking cyclooxygenases (COX). Experimental studies have shown that borneol can inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex.
