Caryophyllene oxide
Constituent of oil of cloves (Eugenia caryophyllata)and is) also in oils of Betula alba, Mentha piperita (peppermint) and others. Caryophyllene alpha-oxide is found in many foods, some of which are spearmint, cloves, ceylon cinnamon, and herbs and spices. Caryophyllene beta-oxide is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Caryophyllene beta-oxide is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Within the cell, caryophyllene beta-oxide is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from logP). It can also be found in the extracellular space. Caryophyllene oxide, isolated from from Hymenaea courbaril, possesses analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity[1].
