(+)-Camphor
Camphor, also known as (+)-camphor or (+)-bornan-2-one, is a member of the class of compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. Bicyclic monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Camphor is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Within the cell, camphor is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from logP). Camphor is a waxy, flammable, white or transparent solid with a strong aroma. It is a terpenoid with the chemical formula C10H16O. It is found in many plants, such as in the wood of the camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora), a large evergreen tree found in Asia (particularly in Sumatra and Borneo islands, Indonesia) and also of the unrelated Kapur tree, a tall timber tree from the same region. It also occurs in some other related trees in the laurel family, notably Ocotea usambarensis and in the oil in rosemary leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis). The mint family contains 10 to 20\\\\\\\\% camphor, while camphorweed (Heterotheca) only contains some 5\\\\\\\\%. Camphor can also be synthetically produced from oil of turpentine. It is used for its scent, as an ingredient in cooking (mainly in India), as an embalming fluid, for medicinal purposes, and in religious ceremonies. A major source of camphor in Asia is camphor basil (the parent of African blue basil) (Wikipedia). (R)-camphor is the (R)- enantiomer of camphor. It is an enantiomer of a (S)-camphor. Camphor is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone found widely in plants, especially Cinnamomum camphora. It is used topically as a skin antipruritic and as an anti-infective agent.

The FDA ruled that camphorated oil could not be marketed in the United States and that no product could contain a concentration higher than 11\\\\\\\\%. It appears in the list of drug products withdrawn or removed from the market for safety or effectiveness. However, camphor can be found in several nonprescription medications at lower concentrations.
