α-Humulene(CAT: I018350) is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene commonly found in the essential oils of plants such as hops (Humulus lupulus), cloves, and sage. It is known for its distinctive earthy, woody aroma and exhibits a range of biological activities. α-Humulene has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. It works by inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediators like TNF-α and IL-1β, making it a valuable compound in inflammation and oncology research. Additionally, α-Humulene is studied for its potential appetite-suppressant effects and synergy with other terpenes and cannabinoids, contributing to therapeutic research in pain management and immune modulation.
