(+)-Carvone, a natural compound extracted from the essential oils of plants. As a cyclic monoterpene ketone, it serves as a flavor and fragrance component in the food and cosmetics industries and as insect repellent. In vitro investigations (+)-Carvone has been explored for its effects on cellular processes encompassing cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Although the exact mechanism of action for (+)-Carvone remains incompletely understood, existing evidence suggests that it functions as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Additionally, it is believed to act as an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme involved in the breakdown of acetylcholine.
