Description

Gamma-Terpinene is a terpene, which is a type of hydrocarbon. Terpenes are found in many plants and produce the characteristic odors of those plants. This compound has genotoxic effects on human cells and is toxic to animals. Gamma-terpinene may be used as an insecticide or pesticide to control pests in crops such as cotton, but has minimal toxicity to humans when ingested orally and does not cause cancer in laboratory animals. The level of toxicity varies depending on the animal species and size, with smaller animals having greater sensitivity. Gamma-terpinene has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzymes, which may be responsible for its pharmacological properties.
