Hinesol can be found in various essential oils that show antifugual activities (oils from agarwood of Aquilaria sinensis ), antimicrobial activities (oils from the Phebalium squamulosum species complex), anti-inflammatory activities ( oils from agarwood of Aquilaria agallocha) and anticancer activities (oil from Cedrelopsis grevei leaves). However, no reference shows that Hinesol is responsible for any of the above activities.
