Plaunotol (18-hydroxygeranylgeraniol) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C20H34O2. It is a diterpene that was first isolated from Croton sublyratus.[1]
Occurrence
[edit]Plaunotol has been identified as present in Croton sublyratus[1] and Croton stellatopilosus.[2] In plants, the compound is biosynthesized by hydroxylation of geranylgeraniol, a reaction which is catalyzed by the enzyme geranylgeraniol 18-hydroxylase.[3] A laboratory synthesis of plaunotol has been reported.[4]
Pharmacology
[edit]Plaunotol has antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria that causes gastric ulcers.[5] In Japan, plauntool is used as a pharmaceutical drug under the trade name Kelnac for the treatment of gastritis and gastric ulcers.[6]
