Description

• General description: β;-Caryophyllene is a volatile sesquiterpene compound that can be used as a flavoring agent.[1] It is one of the major volatile organic compounds in Eugenia caryophyllata essential oil[2], Psidium guajava L. leaves[3], Arabidopsis thaliana flowers[4] and Artemisia annua L. aerial parts.[5]
• Application: Essential Oil Constituents as Anti-Inflammatory and Neuroprotective Agents: An Insight through Microglia Modulation.: ß-Caryophyllene shows significant potential as an anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective agent by modulating microglia, which plays a crucial role in neuroinflammation (Stojanovic et al., 2024) (Stojanovic et al., 2024).Synergistic Antinociceptive Effect of ß-Caryophyllene Oxide in Combination with Paracetamol, and the Corresponding Gastroprotective Activity.: This research demonstrates that ß-caryophyllene oxide, when combined with paracetamol, has enhanced antinociceptive effects and provides gastroprotection (Espinosa-Juárez et al., 2024) (Espinosa-Juárez et al., 2024).Consumption of ß-Caryophyllene Increases the Mating Success of Bactrocera zonata Males (Diptera: Tephritidae).: The study explores how ß-caryophyllene consumption boosts the mating success of male fruit flies, indicating its potential applications in pest control strategies (Ul Haq et al., 2024) (Ul Haq et al., 2024).Development of ophthalmic nanoemulsions of ß-caryophyllene for the treatment of Acanthamoeba keratitis.: This research focuses on creating nanoemulsions containing ß-caryophyllene for treating Acanthamoeba keratitis, demonstrating its potential in ophthalmic therapies (Santos Porto et al., 2024) (Santos Porto et al., 2024).
