| Description | 1,7,7-Trimethyltricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]Heptane, also known as cyclene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Thus, 1,7,7-trimethyltricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]Heptane is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. 1,7,7-Trimethyltricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]Heptane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, 1,7,7-Trimethyltricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]Heptane is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as gingers, common sages, and pot marjorams. 1,7,7-Trimethyltricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]Heptane has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as caraway, saffrons, rosemaries, herbs and spices, and sweet basils. This could make 1,7,7-trimethyltricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]Heptane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 1,7,7-Trimethyltricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]heptane is found in Abies balsamea, Abies grandis, Abies sachalinensis, Achillea grandifolia, Achillea millefolium, Ageratum conyzoides, Alphinia galanga, Aristolochia trilobata , Artemisia annua , Artemisia arborescens, Artemisia herba-alba, Artemisia judaica, Artemisia salsoloides, Artemisia sericea, Artemisia thuscula, Atalantia buxifolia, Boronia latipinna, Chaerophyllum macrospermum, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, Chrysanthemum indicum, Cistus albidus, Cistus creticus, Cistus laurifolius, Cryptomeria japonica, Cymbopogon flexuosus, Ferula galbaniflua , Haplopappus foliosus, Helichrysum odoratissimum, Helichrysum taenari, Heterotheca subaxillaris, Mesosphaerum suaveolens, Juniperus communis , Juniperus monticola, Larix sukaczewii, Lavandin abrialis, Lavandula angustifolia , Lavandula dentata , Lavandula stoechas , Lychnophora ericoides Mart. , Marsupella emarginata, Mentha piperita L. , Myrtus communis, Ocimum gratissimum, Origanum acutidens, Origanum hypericifolium, Origanum minutiflorum, Origanum sipyleum, Origanum syriacum, Pelargonium vitifolium, Persea americana, Picea abies, Picea mariana, Picea spp., Pinus cembra , Pinus flexilis, Pinus halepensis , Pinus rzedowskii, Pinus sibirica, Pinus sylvestris, Piper arboreum , Piper nigrum , Pistacia vera, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercus coccifera , Rhodiola rosea L. , Rhododendron mucronulatum, Saccogyna viticulosa, Salvia absconditiflora, Salvia caespitosa, Salvia fruticosa, Salvia syriaca, Scalesia aspera, Sequoia sempervirens, Tanacetum macrophyllum, Tanacetum parthenium, Tanacetum vulgare, Thymus broussonetti, Thymus eigii, Thymus eriocalyx, Thymus kotschyanus, Thymus longicaulis, Thymus maroccanus, Thymus praecos, Thymus revolutus, Thymus saturejoides, Thymus X-porlock, Thymus zygioides, Tsuga canadensis, Valeriana officinalis, Xylopia parviflora and Zingiber zerumbet. A monoterpene that is tricycloheptane bearing a three additional methyl substituents (one at position 1 and two at position 7). |
