Description

General description

Camphor is a crystalline ketone obtained from Cinnamomum Camphora. Its effect on sex hormone has been studied. The camphor derivatives are antiinfluenza compounds that are active against influenza viruses resistant to adamantane-based drugs.

Quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical investigation of the mechanism of C-H hydroxylation of camphor by cytochrome P450cam: theory supports a two-state rebound mechanism.

Jan C Schöneboom et al.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 126(12), 4017-4034 (2004-03-25)

The stereospecific cytochrome P450-catalyzed hydroxylation of the C(5)-H((5-exo)) bond in camphor has been studied theoretically by a combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) approach. Density functional theory is employed to treat the electronic structure of the active site (40-100 atoms), while

The effect of camphor on sex hormones levels in rats.

Sima Shahabi et al.

Cell journal, 16(2), 231-234 (2014-02-26)

In some traditional therapies, it has been claimed that camphor (a crystalline ketone obtained from cinnamomum camphora) would be a suppressor of sexual behaviors and sex hormones. This study evaluated the effects of camphor on sex hormones, like luteinizing hormone
