Product Description
Methyl Cedryl Ketone is a biochemical compound that can be used as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
Acetyl cedrene (CAS# 32388-55-9) is a synthetic sesquiterpenoid ketone widely recognized for its characteristic warm, woody, and ambery aroma. It is a member of the alkyl cyclic ketones fragrance structural group. With molecular formula C₁₇H₂₆O and molecular weight 246.39 g/mol, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a density of 0.997 g/mL at 25°C. It is predominantly utilized as a fragrance ingredient in consumer products including perfumes, soaps, and cosmetics. Synonyms include Vertofix and Lixetone.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Acetyl cedrene does not have a defined biological or pharmacological target as it is primarily a fragrance ingredient rather than a drug. Its chemical properties and toxicological profile have been studied in the context of dermatological and environmental safety. It is not known to interact with specific receptors or enzymes in a therapeutic context. Its primary function is olfactory, binding to odorant receptors in the nasal epithelium to produce its characteristic woody-amber scent.
ln Vitro
Acetyl cedrene does not exhibit significant in vitro biological activity relevant to pharmacology. As a fragrance compound, its activity is related to its olfactory properties rather than cellular or enzymatic effects. In vitro studies have focused on its skin sensitization potential and safety profile for cosmetic applications. It is not known to have cytotoxic, enzyme-inhibitory, or receptor-modulating activities at concentrations used in consumer products. Any biological effects are typically related to dermatological reactions rather than therapeutic activities.
ln Vivo
Acetyl cedrene is not a therapeutic agent and does not have established in vivo pharmacological activity. Its primary application is in the fragrance industry, where it is used to impart woody and ambery notes to perfumes, soaps, and cosmetics. It is absorbed through the skin and respiratory tract upon exposure, but its systemic effects are minimal at typical exposure levels. The compound has a robust safety profile for its intended use in consumer products.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for acetyl cedrene are primarily focused on safety assessment rather than pharmacological activity. Skin sensitization potential is evaluated using the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) in vitro, where the compound is applied to skin models and cytokine release or lymphocyte proliferation is measured. For cytotoxicity screening, human keratinocyte or fibroblast cell lines are exposed to various concentrations (typically 0.1-1000 μg/mL) for 24-48 hours, and cell viability is assessed by MTT or neutral red uptake assays. The compound's ability to induce oxidative stress may be evaluated by measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for acetyl cedrene are conducted to assess safety and potential irritancy. Human epidermal keratinocytes or reconstructed human epidermis models (e.g., EpiSkin) are exposed to the compound at concentrations relevant to dermal exposure. After incubation for 24-48 hours, cell viability is measured using MTT assays. Inflammatory responses are evaluated by measuring IL-1α, IL-6, and TNF-α release via ELISA. Skin irritation potential is assessed according to OECD guidelines using the reconstructed human epidermis test method, where tissue viability after compound exposure is compared to negative and positive controls.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for acetyl cedrene are primarily toxicological and conducted according to regulatory guidelines for fragrance safety assessment. OECD Test Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) involves applying the compound to the shaved skin of rats or rabbits and monitoring for mortality and clinical signs over 14 days. OECD TG 404 (Skin Irritation/Corrosion) and TG 405 (Eye Irritation) assess local effects. For repeat-dose toxicity, rats are administered the compound by oral gavage or dermal application for 28 or 90 days, with histopathological examination of organs, hematology, and clinical chemistry analysis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a fragrance ingredient, acetyl cedrene does not have established pharmacokinetic properties in the context of therapeutic use. When applied topically in consumer products, it is absorbed through the skin to a limited extent. Its small lipophilic molecule (log P estimated ~4.5) suggests potential for dermal absorption and distribution to fatty tissues. Metabolism likely occurs via oxidation of the methyl groups and ketone reduction, with subsequent conjugation and renal excretion. Systemic bioavailability from dermal exposure is expected to be low due to the compound's lipophilicity and rapid metabolism.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Acetyl cedrene is considered to have a robust safety profile for its intended use in consumer products. It is not classified as a carcinogen, mutagen, or reproductive toxicant based on available data. However, as with many fragrance materials, it may cause skin sensitization or irritation in susceptible individuals at high concentrations. The compound has been evaluated by the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) and found to be safe for use in fragrances at current levels of exposure. Acute oral LD₅₀ in rats is >2000 mg/kg, indicating low acute toxicity.
Additional Infomation
Acetyl cedrene is a well-characterized synthetic fragrance ingredient with a CAS number 32388-55-9. It is produced via Friedel-Crafts acylation of α-cedrene. Its physicochemical properties and synthesis are well-established. Synonyms include Vertofix, Lixetone, and Acetylcedrene. It is soluble in chloroform, DMSO (slightly), and ethyl acetate (slightly). It has a flash point >230°F. The compound is used extensively in the fragrance industry and has been the subject of safety assessments by regulatory bodies worldwide.
