beta-Bourbonene
Bourbonene is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Thus, bourbonene is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Bourbonene can be found in orange mint, which makes bourbonene a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. beta-Bourbonene is found in cloves. beta-Bourbonene is a flavouring agent.
alpha-gurjunene
1-epi-alpha-gurjunene is a member of the class of compounds known as 5,10-cycloaromadendrane sesquiterpenoids. 5,10-cycloaromadendrane sesquiterpenoids are aromadendrane sesquiterpenoids that arise from the C5-C10 cyclization of the aromadendrane skeleton. Within the cell, 1-epi-alpha-gurjunene is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from logP). It can also be found in the extracellular space.
(+)-Camphene
A monoterpene with a bicyclic skeleton that is bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane substituted by geminal methyl groups at position 2 and a methylidene group at position 3. It is a widespread natural product found in many essential oils.
(+)-gamma-cadinene
A member of the cadinene family of sesquiterpenes in which the isopropyl group is cis to the hydrogen at the adjacent bridgehead carbon (the 1S,4aR,8aR enantiomer).
(R,R)-1-isopropyl-4-methyl-3-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-4-vinylcyclohexene
delta-Cadinene
A member of the cadinene family of sesquiterpenes in which the double bonds are located at the 4-4a and 7-8 positions, and in which the isopropyl group at position 1 is cis to the hydrogen at the adjacent bridgehead carbon (position 8a).
