Description

Farnesyl acetone is a chiral compound that can be found in carotenoids. It has been shown to inhibit axonal growth and to have a structural analysis of an acetone molecule. Farnesyl acetone also has pharmacological effects on the central nervous system, including antihypertensive activity and anticonvulsant effects. Farnesyl acetone is synthesized from geranyl diphosphate and acetone in vitro, which are both biochemically abundant compounds. Glycyrrhiza species contain glycerrhizin, which is an active ingredient for the synthesis of fernesyl acetone. This molecule has been shown to have biological properties such as antioxidant activity or inhibition of platelet aggregation, among other activities.
