Common NameBisabolene
Description2,7,10-Bisabolatriene, also known as cis-alpha-bisabolene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Sesquiterpenes are terpenes that contain 15 carbon atoms and are comprised of three isoprene units. The biosynthesis of sesquiterpenes is known to occur mainly through the mevalonic acid pathway (MVA), in the cytosol. However, recent studies have found evidence of pathway crosstalk with the methyl-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the cytosol. Farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of cyclic sesquiterpenes. FPP undergoes several cyclization reactions to yield a diverse number of cyclic arrangements. 2,7,10-Bisabolatriene is also classified as a bisabolene. Bisabolenes are a group of closely related natural chemical compounds found in the essential oils of bisabol, and of many other plants including cubeb, lemon, and oregano. Three isomers of bisabolene are known, α-, β-and γ-bisabolene, which differ by the positions of the double bonds. Bisabolenes are used as intermediates in the biosynthesis of many other natural chemical compounds, including hernandulcin, a natural sweetener. 2,7,10-Bisabolatriene is a neutral, hydrophobic molecule that is practically insoluble in water. Some bisabolene derivatives also act as pheromones in different insects, such as stink bugs and fruit flies (PMID: 11673844 ). Bisabolenes are also produced by several fungi, though their biological role in that group of organisms remains unclear (PMID: 25957494 ). Bisabolenes are found in cannabis smoke. Cis-alpha-Bisabolene is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
