cis-Sabinol

(1S,3R,5S)-4-methylidene-1-(propan-2-yl)bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-3-ol

C10H16O (152.1201)


(+)-cis-Sabinol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Thus, (+)-cis-sabinol is an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Monoterpenoids are terpenes that contain 10 carbon atoms and are comprised of two isoprene units. The biosynthesis of monoterpenes is known to occur mainly through the methyl-eritritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the plastids (PMID: 23746261). Geranyl diphosphate (GPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of cyclic monoterpenes. GPP undergoes several cyclization reactions to yield a diverse number of cyclic arrangements. (+)-cis-Sabinol is very hydrophobic, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Artemisia annuaand (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11418-006-0112-9) and in herbal plant Dendranthema indicum (PMID: 29510531). (+)-cis-sabinol, also known as sabinol or sabinol, (1alpha,3alpha,5alpha)-isomer, 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. Thus, (+)-cis-sabinol is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule (+)-cis-sabinol is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). (+)-cis-sabinol can be found in peppermint, which makes (+)-cis-sabinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
