Cedrol
Cedrol is a cedrane sesquiterpenoid and a tertiary alcohol. Cedrol is a natural product found in Xylopia aromatica, Widdringtonia whytei, and other organisms with data available. Cedrol is a bioactive sesquiterpene, a potent competitive inhibitor of cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes. Cedrol inhibits CYP2B6-mediated bupropion hydroxylase and CYP3A4-mediated midazolam hydroxylation with Ki of 0.9 μM and 3.4 μM, respectively. Cedrol also has weak inhibitory effect on CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 enzymes[1]. Cedrol is found in cedar essential oil and poetesses anti-septic, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, tonic, astringent, diuretic, insecticidal, and anti-fungal activities[2].

alpha-Cedrene
Alpha-cedrene, also known as (-)-α-cedrene or beta-cedrene, is a member of the class of compounds known as cedrane and isocedrane sesquiterpenoids. Cedrane and isocedrane sesquiterpenoids are sesquiternoids with a structure based on the cedrane or the isocedrane skeleton. Cedrane is a tricyclic molecules a 3,6,8,8-tetramethyl-1H-3a,7-methano-azulene moiety. Isocedrane is a rearranged cedrane arising from the migration of methyl group moved from the 6-position to the 4-position. Thus, alpha-cedrene is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Alpha-cedrene is a sweet, cedar, and fresh tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as tarragon, peppermint, wild celery, and common sage, which makes alpha-cedrene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Alpha-cedrene can be found primarily in urine. Cedr-8-ene is a sesquiterpene that is cedrane which has a double bond between positions 8 and 9. It has a role as a human urinary metabolite and a volatile oil component. It is a sesquiterpene, a bridged compound, a polycyclic olefin and a carbotricyclic compound. It derives from a hydride of a cedrane. alpha-Cedrene is a natural product found in Aloysia gratissima, Widdringtonia whytei, and other organisms with data available. alpha-Cedrene alpha-Cedrene is one of the two isomers of cedrene. Cedrene is a sesquiterpene found in the essential oil of cedar. There are two isomers of cedrene, (-)-alpha-cedrene and (+)-beta-cedrene, which differ in the position of a double bond (Wikipedia) A sesquiterpene that is cedrane which has a double bond between positions 8 and 9. (-)-Cedrene (α-cedrene) is a sesquiterpene constituent of cedarwood oils, with anti-leukemic, antimicrobial and anti-obesity activities[1].
