beta-Elemene
(-)-beta-elemene is the (-)-enantiomer of beta-elemene that has (1S,2S,4R)-configuration. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent. beta-Elemene is a natural product found in Xylopia sericea, Eupatorium cannabinum, and other organisms with data available. Beta-elemene is one of the isomers of elemene, a lipid soluble sesquiterpene and the active component isolated from the Chinese medicinal herb Rhizoma zedoariae with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. Although the exact mechanism of action through which beta-elemene exerts its effect has yet to be fully elucidated, this agent appears to induce apoptosis through different mechanisms of action and induces cell cycle arrest at different stages based on the tumor cell type involved. Beta-elemene may sensitize cancer cells to other chemotherapeutic agents. See also: Cannabis sativa subsp. indica top (part of). Beta-elemene, also known as B-elemen or 2,4-diisopropenyl-1-methyl-1-vinylcyclohexane, is a member of the class of compounds known as elemane sesquiterpenoids. Elemane sesquiterpenoids are sesquiterpenoids with a structure based on the elemane skeleton. Elemane is a monocyclic compound consisting of a cyclohexane ring substituted with a methyl group, an ethyl group, and two 1-methylethyl groups at the 1-, 1-, 2-, and 4-position, respectively. Beta-elemene is a fresh, herbal, and waxy tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as lovage, anise, spearmint, and orange mint, which makes beta-elemene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Beta-elemene can be found primarily in saliva. beta-Elemene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as elemane sesquiterpenoids.

gamma-Elemene
Gamma-Elemene, also known as g-elemene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes that contain 15 carbon atoms and are comprised of three isoprene units. The biosynthesis of sesquiterpenes is known to occur mainly through the mevalonic acid pathway (MVA), in the cytosol. However, recent studies have found evidence of pathway crosstalk with the methyl-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the cytosol. Farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of cyclic sesquiterpenes. FPP undergoes several cyclization reactions to yield a diverse number of cyclic arrangements. More formally, gamma-elemene is a cyclohexane substituted at positions 1, 1, 2, and 4 by methyl, vinyl, isopropenyl and isopropylidene groups, respectively. There are four known elemene isomers including α-, β-, γ-, and δ-elemene. The elemenes contribute to the floral aromas of some plants and are used as pheromones by some insects. Gamma-elemene is found in many essential plant oils including wormwood leaf oil, peppermint oil, pepper tree leaf oil, parsley leaf oil, orange peel oil, lime oil, juniper berry oil, hinoki leaf oil, angelica root oil, and angelica seed oil. Gamma-elemene has been shown to exhibit good insecticidal activity against the crop pest Spodoptera litura (tobacco cutworm or cotton leafworm) and could be useful as an eco-friendly biopesticide (PMID:28634795). Gamma-elemene, also known as (+)-G-elemene, is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Gamma-elemene can be found in a number of food items such as sweet basil, mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine), sweet bay, and pot marjoram, which makes gamma-elemene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
