β-Ionone is an aroma compound found in essential oils such as rose oil. β-Ionone is a carotenoid that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of vitamin A. β-Ionone is effective in the chemoprevention of rat mammary cell carcinogenesis. 2-Ionone also inhibits cell growth in vitro by interacting with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process.
