Description

Alpha-pinene is a monoterpene that reacts with ozone to form acid. It is also a skin irritant and has been shown to cause cancer in animals. Alpha-pinene can be used as a chemical pesticide and is an important precursor for the synthesis of polymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. The alpha-pinene molecule has been studied in relation to its transport properties through the lungs, due to its high vapor pressure and tendency to form particles. This molecule is an active compound that binds to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thereby preventing transcription and replication. Alpha-pinene has also been found to have biological properties related to gene expression regulation, cell signaling pathways, neuronal death, and apoptosis.
