OEL Fastrac Catalog

Camphor, also known as bornan-2-one, is a bicyclic monoterpene ketone found widely in plants. Camphor is a constituent of a variety of foods. Typical sources are herbs, such as basil, coriander, marjoram, rosemary and sage. Both enantiomers are naturally occurring. The essential oil from the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) contains up to 84% dcamphor. Essential oils from herbs are characterized by typical ratios of the enantiomers. For example, a 72-75% excess of the l-camphor enantiomer is characteristic of coriander oil (Coriandrum sativum L.), whereas, an excess of the d-camphor enantiomer characterizes the essential oils of sage and basil. As a pharmaceutical ingredient, camphor oil has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and is used for its aromatic properties, as an insect repellant, in embalming fluids, and in various topical skin preparations. Additionally, camphor taken internally in small amounts (toxic in large doses) acts as a carminative, a reflex expectorant, and reflex stimulant of the heart, circulation and respiration. Camphor has also been used as a sedative and nervous system depressant in convulsions, hysteria, epilepsy, and chorea.
