Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20359267 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27771935 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27722047 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27251496 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19624838 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26207629

Eucalyptol is a natural organic compound with fresh mint-like smell and a spicy, cooling taste. Eucalyptol comprises up to 90 percent of the essential oil of some species of the generic product Eucalyptus oil, hence the common name of the compound. It is also found in camphor laurel, bay leaves, tea tree, mugwort, sweet basil, wormwood, rosemary, common sage, Cannabis sativa and other aromatic plant foliage. Eucalyptol with a purity from 99.6 to 99.8 percent can be obtained in large quantities by fractional distillation of eucalyptus oil. Eucalyptol is an ingredient in many brands of mouthwash and cough suppressant, as well as an inactive ingredient in body powder. The typical concentrations of eucalyptol in cosmetic products have been reported to be 1.6% in perfume, 0.4% in soap, 0.1% in creams and lotions and 0.04% in detergents. Committee of Experts on Flavouring Substances of the Council of Europe (CEFS) proposed upper levels of 0.1 mg/kg in beverages and 5 mg/kg in food with the exception of 15 mg/kg in candy and confectionery and 50 mg/kg in alcoholic beverages. Eucalyptol controls airway mucus hypersecretion and asthma via anti-inflammatory cytokine inhibition. Eucalyptol is an effective treatment for nonpurulent rhinosinusitis. Eucalyptol reduces inflammation and pain when applied topically.

Sample Use Guides

In this double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center-study we randomly assigned 242 patients with stable COPD to receive 200 mg of cineole or placebo 3 times daily as concomitant therapy for 6 months
Route of Administration: Oral
Cell viability was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. BEAS-2B cells were treated with 0.1, 1, 10 µg/mL 1.8-cineole (Eucalyptol) for 24 h, and then incubated with MTT (0.5 mg/mL) at 37°C for 4 h. The viable cell number was directly proportional to the production of formazan, which was dissolved in isopropanol and determined by measuring the absorbance at 570 nm using a microplate reader.
