Disease relevance of Carvol

 

High impact information on Carvol

  • Treatment with increasing concentrations of the odorant, l-carvone, induced a time- and dose-dependent dramatic increase in GnRH protein release (1000-fold increase) and gene expression [5].
  • [reaction: see text] The first enantioselective total synthesis of valeriananoids A-C (-)-1-3 is reported starting from the readily available monoterpene (R)-carvone, employing a tandem intermolecular Michael addition-intramolecular Michael addition-alkylation sequence and an electron-transfer-mediated 6-endo-trig cyclization as key steps [6].
  • (S)-3,4,4-Trimethylcarvone (7), obtained from (R)-carvone, was transformed into the bicyclo[2.2.2]octanone 13 via regioselective intramolecular alkylation of the allyl bromide 11 [7].
  • The synthesis of l-carvone and limonene derivatives with increased antiproliferative effect and activation of ERK pathway in prostate cancer cells [3].
  • The sensitizing potential of l-carvone has been considered low, but it has occasionally caused contact allergy in users of spearmint toothpaste and chewing gum. l-Carvone is also an oxidation product of d-limonene that occurs in solvents used increasingly in industry [8].
 

Anatomical context of Carvol

  • This mechanism was supported by the data recorded from a single olfactory cilium, showing that a single cell has both receptors for l-carvone and d-carvone and that the response to d-carvone appeared after the response to l-carvone was adapted [9].
