Application

D-(+)-Camphor, characterized by its white crystalline form, serves multiple functions as an analgesic, anti-infective, and antipruritic agent. As the (R)-enantiomer of camphor, this terpene is naturally present in Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and their hybrid strains, as well as in essential oils of various herbs such as rosemary, lavender, and sage. D-(+)-Camphor demonstrates a wide range of biological activities, including the suppression of norepinephrine secretion and the reduction of cytosolic calcium and sodium levels in chromaffin cells, which involve nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It also promotes cellular proliferation and enhances the expression of collagen and elastin in human primary dermal fibroblasts, and has been shown to boost collagen and elastin levels in UV-exposed skin in vivo. Additionally, it proves effective in reducing cough frequency and exhibits insecticidal properties by affecting the behavior and mortality of fire ants. Beyond its biological applications, D-(+)-Camphor is utilized as a precursor in the synthesis of cannabinergic ligands.
