(+)-Fenchone (CAS#: 4695-62-9) is a naturally occurring bicyclic monoterpene ketone with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₆O and a molecular weight of 152.24 g/mol. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic camphor-like odor. The compound has a density of 0.945 g/mL at 20°C, a melting point of 5-7°C, a boiling point of 63-65°C at 13 mmHg, and a flash point of 66°C. (+)-Fenchone is a constituent of the essential oil component of fennel fruit and is widely utilized as a chiral pool starting material, chiral auxiliary precursor, and specialized solvent. It is structurally isomeric to camphor. The compound is used in perfumery and as a flavor in foods.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(+)-Fenchone does not target a specific protein or enzyme as a pharmacological agent. Its utility is based on its chemical properties as a chiral monoterpene ketone, making it valuable as a chiral building block in organic synthesis. The compound may interact with olfactory receptors as a flavor and fragrance compound, but this is not a pharmacological target. As a naturally occurring compound found in fennel, it may have some biological activities, but these are not well-characterized in the context of specific molecular targets.
ln Vitro
One of Fenchone's enantiomers, (+)-Fenchone, is found in several essential oils[1].
The in vitro activity of (+)-fenchone is primarily related to its chemical reactivity as a ketone and its chiral properties. The compound is used as a chiral pool starting material and chiral auxiliary precursor, enabling the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched compounds. Its camphor-like odor makes it valuable in perfumery and as a flavor in foods. No specific pharmacological in vitro activities such as enzyme inhibition or receptor modulation have been well-documented for this compound.
ln Vivo
In vivo, (+)-fenchone is not used as a therapeutic agent. It is a constituent of fennel essential oil and is used as a flavor and fragrance compound. The compound may have some biological effects when consumed as part of food or essential oils, but these are not well-characterized in the context of pharmacological activity.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for (+)-fenchone are not typically performed in the context of enzyme or receptor binding, as the compound is primarily used as a chemical reagent and fragrance ingredient. However, as a chiral compound, it may be used in studies of enantioselective reactions or as a standard for analytical methods.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular experiments, (+)-fenchone is not typically used in cell-based assays. The compound is primarily used in organic synthesis and as a flavor/fragrance ingredient.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with (+)-fenchone are not commonly performed, as the compound is primarily used as a chemical reagent and fragrance ingredient rather than a therapeutic candidate.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of (+)-fenchone have not been extensively characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 152.24 g/mol and is a liquid at room temperature. It is slightly soluble in water (1.1 g/L at 25°C) and has a density of 0.945-0.948 g/mL. It should be stored at room temperature in a cool, dark place below 15°C.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for (+)-fenchone has not been systematically evaluated for therapeutic use. As a naturally occurring compound used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient, it is generally considered safe at typical exposure levels. However, standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed when handling this chemical reagent.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • 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)
