Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): insect attractant
A chemical that attracts insects.
metabolite
Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
Application(s): non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
An anti-inflammatory drug that is not a steroid. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins.
fragrance
A substance, extract, or preparation for diffusing or imparting an agreeable or attractive smell.

General Comment
2011-11-16 Caryophyllene is a constituent of many essential oils, particularly oil of cloves, hemp, rosemary and hops, it is usually found as a mixture with isocaryophyllene (the cis-couble bond isomer) and α-humulene (also known as α-caryophyllene, a ring-openend isomer). The presence of the cyclobutane ring is noteworthyl - it is an uncommon feature in natural products.
