QUICK LINKS

(+)-Cedrol is a sesquiterpene alcohol that functions as a pheromone in certain insect species. (+)-Cedrol acts by binding to olfactory receptors in the antennae of the beetles, triggering a response that leads them to the source of the compound. This mechanism of action may be a useful for studying insect behavior and developing environmentally friendly pest control methods.(+)-Cedrol has antimicrobial properties, inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria and fungi. Its mechanism of action involves disrupting the cell membranes or metabolic processes of the microorganisms.
