Camphoric acid is a product of oxidation of camphor, naturally occurring in rosemary. In the early twentieth century, camphoric acid was used in the night-sweats of phthisis and was also employed in solution as a local antiseptic to the nose, throat, and bladder. Camphoric acid was found to induce the expression of glutamate receptors NMDAR1, GluR3/4, and mGluR8.
