    Product Description

    α-Cembrenediol is a diterpenoid that has been found in N. tabacum and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4 It inhibits induction of the early antigen of Epstein-Barr virus (EA-EBV) by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in Raji cells (IC50 = 25.2 μM).2 α-Cembrenediol is active against the plant pathogenic fungus V. mali (IC50 = 18 mg/L).3 Dermal application of α-cembrenediol (3.3 µmol) reduces the tumor promoting effects of TPA on 7,12-demethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced papilloma formation by 53% in mice.4 It has been found in cigarette smoke condensate.
