Fenchone is a monoterpene found in nature. The two enantiomers of fenchone occur in a number of essential oils. (+)-Fenchone was reported to exist in fennel seed oil (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) and in the oil of Lavandula stoechas, whereas (-)-fenchone is a constituent of the oil of cedar leaf (Thuja occidentalis). (-)-Fenchone is used in wound healing. (+)-Fenchone is used as a food flavor and in parfumes.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Fenchone ((-)-form) was applied topically to the wounds once daily, for 10 days.

Route of Administration: Topical

In Vitro Use Guide

Antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Tetradenia riparia (contains 6.2% of fenchone) was tested against cariogenic bacteris. Tetradenia riparia essential oil displayed MIC values between 31.2 and 500 ug/mL, with the lowest MIC value being obtained against Streptococcus mitis (31.2 ug/mL), S. mutans (62.5 ug/mL), S. sobrinus (31.2 ug/mL), and Lactobacillus casei (62.5 ug/mL).
