Description
Descriptionβ-Eudesmol is an aromatic, oxygenated sesquiterpene compound. It is primarily observed in the bark ofmangoliatrees and can also be extracted from other medical herbs such asCryptomeria japonica,Atractylodes lancea,Pterocarpus santalinus,Ginkgo biloba, andNardostachys jatamansi.β-Eudesmol has been used:as a treatment to test its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cell preservation effects on human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs)as a reference standard to investigate if metabolically engineeredE. coliextracted terpene synthase (Tps) genes encode for β-eudesmol synthase by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysisto test its antiviral effects against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)to test its reversal effects of cocaine-induced planarian behavior
