Description | Eucalyptol (NSC 6171, 1,8-Cineol, 1,8-cineole, 1,8-Epoxy-p-menthane, 1,8-Oxido-p-menthane, Cineol, Cineole) is a monoterpenoid oil present in many plants, principally the Eucalyptus species, and has been reported to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. Eucalyptol controls airway mucus hypersecretion and asthma via anti-inflammatory cytokine inhibition.This product is a hazardous chemical (acute toxicity/flammable/skin corrosive). Please use it while wearing a protective face mask, gloves, and clothing. | |||||

In vitro | In a concentration-dependent manner, 1,8-Cineol (Eucalyptol) reduces LPS-induced Egr-1 expression in nuclei and in whole cell of THP-1 cells, but shows no effect on NF-κB expression. 1,8-Cineol significantly inhibits cytokine production in human unselected lymphocytes of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, and in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated monocytes of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8[1]. 1,8-Cineol significantly stimulates the transactivation of liver X receptor modulator LXR-α and LXR-β. The mRNA and protein expression of LXRs and their target genes, including ABCA1 and ABCG1, are significantly increased in macrophages stimulated with cineole. This leads to the subsequent removal of cholesterol from the cells[2]. |

In vivo | In rats, it depresses myocardial contractility in a concentration-dependent way while increasing extracellular Ca2+ concentration. i.v. treatment of both anesthetized and conscious rats with 1,8-cineole lowers blood pressure, probably through an active vascular relaxation rather than withdrawal of sympathetic tone. 1,8-Cineole is also found to relax rat and guinea-pig (nonsensitized and ovalbumin-sensitized) airway smooth muscle by a nonspecific mechanism[2]. |
