Product Description
(R)-Citronellol (D-Citronellol) is an alcoholic monoterpene found in geranium essential oil. (R)-Citronellol inhibits mast cell degranulation and does not affect the bitter taste perception of caffeine. (R)-Citronellol may be utilized in decorative cosmetics, toiletries and non-cosmetic products.
D-Citronellol ((R)-3,7-dimethyl-6-octen-1-ol), also known as (R)-Citronellol or (R)-(+)-β-citronellol, is an acyclic monoterpenoid alcohol with the molecular formula C10H20O and molecular weight of 156.27 g/mol. It is a naturally occurring compound commonly found in essential oils of various aromatic plants, including rose, geranium, lemon, and Cymbopogon citratus.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
D-Citronellol does not have a specific defined pharmacological target but is known to modulate mast cell function. It inhibits degranulation of cultured mast cells. As a monoterpene alcohol, it may interact with multiple cellular targets, including membrane receptors and ion channels, contributing to its biological activities.
ln Vitro
0.5 mM (R)-citronellol (D-citronellol) prevents 21.3% of cultured mast cell (CMC) degranulation[2].
D-Citronellol (0.5 mM) inhibits degranulation of cultured mast cells by 21.3%. The compound has been studied for its effects on mast cell function and potential anti-allergic properties. It is also used in decorative cosmetics, lotion products, and non-cosmetic applications. In vitro studies show that D-Citronellol does not affect caffeine bitterness perception.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies on D-Citronellol are limited. The compound is a constituent of black cumin (Nigella sativa) seeds and is prevalent in essential oils of various aromatic plant species. As a natural monoterpene, it has been traditionally used in aromatherapy and cosmetic applications. Further in vivo pharmacological studies are needed to fully characterize its biological effects.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for D-Citronellol are not well established. As a monoterpenoid, it may interact with olfactory receptors and other membrane proteins. Binding studies typically involve assessing the compound's ability to modulate mast cell degranulation or other cellular responses rather than direct receptor binding. Standard radioligand binding assays could be adapted to study potential receptor interactions.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for D-Citronellol typically utilize mast cell cultures. Cultured mast cells are treated with D-Citronellol at concentrations such as 0.5 mM, and degranulation is measured by assessing the release of β-hexosaminidase or histamine following stimulation with IgE-antigen complexes or other secretagogues. Cell viability is assessed to ensure compound concentrations are not cytotoxic.
Animal Protocol
D-Citronellol is a natural product, and in vivo animal studies are limited. As a component of essential oils, it has been studied in the context of aromatherapy and topical applications. For pharmacological evaluation, animal models of allergic inflammation could potentially be used to assess the anti-allergic effects of D-Citronellol. However, comprehensive in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies are lacking.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a small lipophilic molecule, D-Citronellol (MW 156.27, logP ~3.5) is expected to have good oral absorption and tissue penetration. It is commonly used in topical cosmetic formulations, indicating favorable skin permeability. The compound has a boiling point of 224.5°C and density of 0.857 g/mL at 25°C. D-Citronellol is volatile and should be stored in tightly sealed containers away from light and heat.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
D-Citronellol is generally recognized as safe for use in cosmetics and food flavoring. It is a natural monoterpene with low toxicity. At the tested concentration of 0.5 mM, it inhibits mast cell degranulation without significant cytotoxicity. As with all essential oil components, it may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals at high concentrations.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
