(-) -Cedrene

• Description:

  (-) -Cedrene (α-cedrene) is a major constituent that can be found in essential oils. (-) -Cedrene (α-cedrene) is a natural, orally active ligand of mouse olfactory receptor 23, which induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy in mice. (-) -Cedrene exhibits trypanocidal (Trypanosoma b. brucei) (IC50 = 4.07 μg/mL) . (-) -Cedrene is antileukemic in vitro (IC50 = 22.2 μg/mL) . (-) -Cedrene has antimicrobial activity against anaerobic bacteria and yeast. (-) -Cedrene exhibits anti-obesity activity[1][2].
