Camphene is a bicyclic monoterpene, a Plant Derived Monoterpene, which possessed antitumor activity. This was found in vivo by inhibiting subcutaneous tumor growth of highly aggressive melanoma cells in a syngeneic model, suggesting a promising role of this compound in cancer therapy. In addition was shown, that camphene lowered cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) in the plasma of hyperlipidemic rats without affecting HMG-CoA reductase activity. And was suggested, that camphene upregulated Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBP-1) expression and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibition was likely to be a probable mechanism whereby camphene exerts its hypolipidemic effect.
