Camphene
Camphene, also known as 2,2-dimethyl-3-methylenebicyclo[2.2.1]heptane or 2,2-dimethyl-3-methylenenorbornane, 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. 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-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in plastids (PMID:7640522 ). 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. Camphene is nearly insoluble in water but very soluble in common organic solvents. It volatilizes readily at room temperature and has a pungent smell. It exists as a flammable, white solid that has a minty, citrus, eucalyptus odor. It is produced industrially by catalytic isomerization of the more common alpha-pinene. Camphene is used in the preparation of fragrances and in food additives for flavouring. In the mid-19th century it was used as a fuel for lamps, but this was limited by its explosiveness. Camphene exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. Camphene can be found in a number of food items such as dill, carrots, caraway, hyssop, lemon, orange, nutmeg seed, parsley, sage, thyme, turmeric and fennel, which makes camphene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. It is a minor constituent of many essential oils such as turpentine, cypress oil, camphor oil, citronella oil, neroli, ginger oil, and valerian. Camphene is one of several monoterpenes that are found in cannabis plants (PMID:6991645 ).

Hexacosanoic acid, also known as N-hexacosanoate or c26:0, is a member of the class of compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids. Very long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains at least 22 carbon atoms. Thus, hexacosanoic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Hexacosanoic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Hexacosanoic acid can be found in a number of food items such as dandelion, potato, cottonseed, and sugar apple, which makes hexacosanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Hexacosanoic acid can be found primarily in blood, as well as in human adrenal gland and fibroblasts tissues. Hexacosanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In humans, hexacosanoic acid is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include adrenoleukodystrophy, x-linked and beta oxidation of very long chain fatty acids. Hexacosanoic acid is also involved in carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency, which is a metabolic disorder. Moreover, hexacosanoic acid is found to be associated with adrenomyeloneuropathy, peroxisomal biogenesis defect, and adrenoleukodystrophy, neonatal. Hexacosanoic acid is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Cerotic acid is also a type of very long chain fatty acid that is often associated with the disease adrenoleukodystrophy, which involves the excessive saturation of unmetabolized fatty acid chains, including cerotic acid, in the peroxisome. [In the chem box it is shown folded only because of lack of space. In fact, it is a straight-chain, saturated fatty acid.] . Treatment options for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) are limited. Dietary treatment is with Lorenzos oil. For the childhood cerebral form, stem cell transplant and gene therapy are options if the disease is detected early in the clinical course. Adrenal insufficiency in ALD patients can be successfully treated (T3DB). Hexacosanoic acid, or cerotic acid, is a 26-carbon long-chain saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)24COOH. It is most commonly found in beeswax and carnauba wax, and is a white crystalline solid.
