Description | Gamma-Elemene, also known as g-elemene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes that contain 15 carbon atoms and are comprised of three isoprene units. The biosynthesis of sesquiterpenes is known to occur mainly through the mevalonic acid pathway (MVA), in the cytosol. However, recent studies have found evidence of pathway crosstalk with the methyl-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the cytosol. Farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of cyclic sesquiterpenes. FPP undergoes several cyclization reactions to yield a diverse number of cyclic arrangements. More formally, gamma-elemene is a cyclohexane substituted at positions 1, 1, 2, and 4 by methyl, vinyl, isopropenyl and isopropylidene groups, respectively. There are four known elemene isomers including α-, β-, γ-, and δ-elemene. The elemenes contribute to the floral aromas of some plants and are used as pheromones by some insects. Gamma-elemene is found in many essential plant oils including wormwood leaf oil, peppermint oil, pepper tree leaf oil, parsley leaf oil, orange peel oil, lime oil, juniper berry oil, hinoki leaf oil, angelica root oil, and angelica seed oil. Gamma-elemene has been shown to exhibit good insecticidal activity against the crop pest Spodoptera litura (tobacco cutworm or cotton leafworm) and could be useful as an eco-friendly biopesticide (PMID:28634795 ). |
