DAMASCONE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

(E)-β-Damascone is an odorant found in some food, tea and tobacco plants. It is found to inhibit lipopolysaccharide mediated nitric oxide production through nuclear factor E2-related protein 2 signaling in human colon adenocarcinoma and mouse macrophage.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-(2,6,6-Trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl)but-2-en-4-one is an enone.
