Uses
δ-Cadinene ((+)-δ-Cadinene) is a sesquiterpene in essential oils. δ-Cadinene shows antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on human ovary cancer (OVCAR-3) cells. δ-Cadinene has trichomonacidal, antimicrobial, antifungal and anticancer properties[1][2].
Definition
ChEBI: (+)-delta-cadinene is 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 (the 1S,8aR-enantiomer). It is a delta-cadinene and a cadinene. It is an enantiomer of a (-)-delta-cadinene.
