Description
γ-Terpinene, 250MG
γ-Terpinene is a monoterpene that has been found in various plants, including C. sativa, with diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4,5,6 It scavenges 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; Item No. 14805) and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS+) free radicals (IC50s = 2.8 and 30 mM, respectively) and reduces hemolysis induced by AAPH (Item No. 82235) in isolated human erythrocytes.2 γ-Terpinene reduces the growth of T. evansi in a concentration-dependent manner.3 It increases membrane permeability and decreases growth of X. oryzae bacteria.4 In vivo, γ-terpinene (100 mg/kg) reduces Triton WR1339-induced increases in serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in rats.5 It reduces paw edema induced by histamine, bradykinin (Item No. 37408), carrageenan, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; Item No. 14010) in mice.6 It also inhibits fluid extravasation in a mouse model of acetic acid microvascular permeability and reduces neutrophil migration in lung in a mouse model of acute lung injury.
