(1S,5S)-4,6,6-Trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-3-en-2-one
(1S,5S)-(-)-Verbenone · l-Verbenone
化学組成 · Constituent
(S)-Verbenone is the form usually found in plant essential oils, especially rosemary verbenone CT.
Cardiovascular. Strong in vitro antiplatelet activity.
Drug interactions. (-)-Verbenone alters the distribution of erythromycin and ampicillin in mice, increasing lung concentration while not altering hepatic concentration.
Oral. Intraperitoneal LD50 in mice for mixed isomer verbenone was 250 mg/kg.
| Rosemary | 0.5 – 12.3 % |
| Piri-piri | 1.1 – 3.9 % |
| Mastic | 0 – 2.9 % |
| Hinoki root | 2.4 % |
| Cistus | 0 – 2.0 % |

(-)-Verbenone is converted to (-)-10-hydroxyverbenone in both rats and humans. In humans this occurs mainly through CYP2A6, in male rats through CYP2C11.
(S)-Verbenone, the levogyric or l-verbenone, is the dominant isomer in rosemary verbenone CT and is responsible for the commercial value of this chemotype.
