Microbial Biotransformation of the Sesquiterpene Carotol: Generation of Hydroxylated Metabolites with Potential Cytotoxic and Target-Specific Binding Activities
2025-06-19
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Carotol, a major sesquiterpene alcohol found in carrot essential oil, exhibits promising biological activities including cytotoxic effects against various cancer cell lines. Despite its bioactivity, the metabolic fate and biotransformation pathways of carotol remain largely unexplored, particularly through microbial systems that can offer novel insights into its structural m...
