Citronellyl acetate, a monoterpene product of the secondary metabolism of plants is suitable for all kinds of fruity-floral compounds and flavor compositions. Citronellyl acetate is present mainly in Eucalyptus citriodora, which possesses different biological activities, including fungicidal, larvicidal and bactericidal. As a component of volatile oils from Pelargonium graveoleus Citronellyl acetate exhibited marginal antitumor activities. In addition, some studies revealed, that Citronellyl acetate possessed antinociceptive properties on acute pain. This this is achieved by the involvement of PKC, PKA, TRPV1, TRPA1, TRPM8, and ASIC in Citronellyl acetate's antinociceptive mechanism.
