δ-Cadinol
δ-Cadinol is an organic compound, a sesquiterpenoid alcohol produced by many plants as well as some animals and microorganisms. It is a white crystalline solid, soluble in isopropyl ether and ethanol. It is an epimer of α-cadinol. δ-Cadinol exists in nature as either of two enantiomers distinguished by the prefixes (+)- and (−)-.Lars Westfelt (1970), "(−)-Torryeol ('δ-Cadinol')". ''Acta Chemica Scandinavica'' volume 24 issue 5 16181622 The (+)-isomer was identified by E. Shinozaki in 1922 from the leaves of ''Torreya nucifera'' and originally named torreyol. The (−)-isomer was isolated in 1951 by Haagen-Smit and others from '' Pinus albicaulus'' and first called albicaulol. Its structure was determined in 1970 by Lars Westfelt. Other names were given to δ-cadinol based on its various biological sources before the structures were confirmed, including sesquigoyol for (+)-δ-cadinol and pilgerol for (−)-δ-cadinol. Lambertol is thought to be either (+)-δ-cadinol or ...

α-Cadinol
α-Cadinol or 10α-hydroxy-4-cadinene is an organic compound, a sesquiterpenoid alcohol. Natural occurrence This compound is found in essential oils and extracts of many plants, such as *'' Agrotaxis selaginoides'', * ''Tabernaemontana catharinensis'' * '' Litsea acutivena'' (7.7%), * '' Salvia aratocensis'' (20%), * '' Protium giganteum'' (7%), * '' Uvaria ovata'' root bark (13–24%), * '' Plinia trunciflora'' (19%) * '' Tanacetum sonbolii'' (35%) * ''Schisandra chinensis'' berries (5%), * ''Melia azedarach'' (11%), * ''Neolitsea parvigemma'' (10%), * ''Tetradenia riparia'' (8%) Biological activity α-Cadinol was said to act as anti-fungal and as hepatoprotective, and was proposed as a possible remedy for drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Organic Compound
In chemistry, organic compounds are generally any chemical compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds. Due to carbon's ability to catenate (form chains with other carbon atoms), millions of organic compounds are known. The study of the properties, reactions, and syntheses of organic compounds comprise the discipline known as organic chemistry. For historical reasons, a few classes of carbon-containing compounds (e.g., carbonate salts and cyanide salts), along with a few other exceptions (e.g., carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide), are not classified as organic compounds and are considered inorganic. Other than those just named, little consensus exists among chemists on precisely which carbon-containing compounds are excluded, making any rigorous definition of an organic compound elusive. Although organic compounds make up only a small percentage of Earth's crust, they are of central importance because all known life is based on organic compounds. Living t ...
