| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Asarone is a colorless tryst. M.P. 66-67℃. B.P. 296℃. Pure Asarone is reported to be virtually
odorless and tasteless. However, available samples of the material have in experiments
shown perceptible influence upon the odor of
compositions containing lower boiling perfume materials. Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and
oils. | [Uses]
α-Asarone was used in the synthesis of series of α-asarone isomers and were investigated for their hypolipidemic and antiplatelet activities. | [Uses]
α-Asarone was used in the synthesis of series of α-asarone isomers and were investigated for their hypolipidemic and antiplatelet activities. It is used in the synthesis of anti-inflammatory neolignan. Also used in lignan syntheses for antiallergic agents. It is clinically used as medication for treating epilepsy, cough, bronchitis and asthma. It exhibits neuroprotective, anti-oxidative, anticonvulsive and cognitive enhancing action. | [Application]
Asarone has been suggested for use as
a fixative-blender with Patchouli-like odor
character. | [Definition]
ChEBI: The trans-isomer of asarone. | [Preparation]
1) by isolation from the essential oil of
Acorus Calamus.
2) synthesis. by reduction of Asaraldehyde. | [General Description]
Asarones are toxic morphogenetic agents. It is also known for its chemosterlant and oviposition stimulant properties. Naturally it can be extracted from Acorus calamus. α-Asarone is considered as growth inhibitor. This isomer acts as antifeedant with less toxicity. |
