A Narrative Review on the Bioactivity and Health Benefits of Alpha-Phellandrene

Aromatic essential oils play a significant role in pharmaceuticals, food additives, cosmetics, and perfumery. Essential mostly comprise aliphatic hydrocarbons, monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids diterpenes. Plant extracts complex mixture of terpenes, terpenoids, phenol-derived aromatic components. Terpenes are class hydrocarbons with numerous health benefits. These biological functions oil components examined vitro vivo studies. Some studies evaluated the properties α-phellandrene (α-PHE). Detailed evaluation to determine α-PHE over spectrum care domains needs be initiated. Its possible mechanism action system could reveal future opportunities challenges using as pharmaceutical candidate. The reported, including anti-microbial, insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, wound healing, analgesic, neuronal responses. present narrative review summarizes synthesis, biotransformation, atmospheric emission, properties, activities α-PHE. literature suggests that extended pre-clinical necessary develop α-PHE-based adjuvant therapeutic approaches.
