Nerolidol is a sesquiterpene alcohol that functions as a plant-derived compound with various biological activities. It acts as a precursor in the biosynthesis of other terpenes and plays a role in the defense mechanisms of certain plants. At the molecular level, nerolidol interacts with cell membranes and may act to exhibit antimicrobial properties. Its mechanism of action involves disrupting the integrity of the cell membrane, leading to leakage of cellular contents and ultimately causing cell death in certain microorganisms. Nerolidol possesses insecticidal properties, affecting the nervous system of insects and leading to paralysis and death.
