CAS 464-43-7: d-Borneol

(+)-Borneol is a bicyclic organic compound, which is a naturally occurring terpene obtained from various essential oils, particularly those derived from the camphor tree and certain herbaceous plants. As a monoterpenoid, it exhibits a unique bicyclic structure contributing to its characteristic camphoraceous odor and physical properties. The mode of action of (+)-Borneol is multifaceted, including its ability to interact with various biological pathways. It is known to modulate ion channels and neurotransmitter systems, providing it with potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Furthermore, it exhibits antioxidant properties by scavenging free radicals and protecting cellular components from oxidative damage. Due to these properties, (+)-Borneol is widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries. It serves as a precursor in the synthesis of camphor and is also incorporated into traditional medicine formulations for its therapeutic benefits, including pain relief and improved circulation. Additionally, its pleasant aroma makes it a valuable component in perfumes and flavoring agents. Researchers explore its potential applications in neurology and cardiology, aiming to harness its bioactive properties for clinical advancements.
