biological activity | 3-Carene (Carene, Delta-3-Carene) is a bicyclic monoterpene in essential oils extracted from pine trees. 3-Carene has a powerful pharmacological effect on COX-2 overexpression and LPS-induced Raw264.7 macrophage migration. 3-Carene was shown to significantly stimulate the activity and expression of alkaline phosphatase, an early marker of osteoblast differentiation. |
Target | Value |
production method | 3-carene is widely found in plants (e. G. Finnish turpentine, Indian turpentine), obtained by fractionating turpentine. |
