Description

Carveol is a sesquiterpene lactone that has been shown to be a potent fluorescence probe for the detection of DNA. The high values of carveol in wild-type cells and minimal toxicity make it an attractive candidate for use as a fluorescent probe. Carveol inhibits the growth of infectious bacteria by binding to acetate extract from Curcuma aromatica, which is responsible for the characteristic odor of this plant. Carveol also binds to acetate extract from Eugenia caryophyllata, which has potent inhibitory properties against infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. Molecular docking analysis has shown that carveol can bind to α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in rat liver microsomes, suggesting that this compound may have pharmacological effects on the central nervous system.
