Description

a-Caryophyllene is a natural compound that belongs to the sesquiterpene class. It is found in a wide range of plants, such as black pepper, clove, hops, and basil. It also has been shown to have insecticidal properties. The transcriptional regulation of genes encoding cb2 receptors has been shown to be upregulated by a-caryophyllene. This compound can bind to the cb2 receptor and activate it, leading to an increase in the production of cytokines and chemokines, which are important for the immune system. In addition, this compound has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activities due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.
