Kessyl alcohol

Kessyl alcohol, has been isolated from Japanese valerian,... 

Antidepressant effects of valerian were identified by Oshima and associates using a methanol extract of Valeriana fauriei roots (Oshima et al., 1995). They found a strong antidepressant activity in mice as measured by the forced swimming test. One active component isolated was a-kessyl alcohol, a volatile oil component. At 30 mg/kg intraperitoneally, a-kessyl alcohol exhibited an effect similar to imipramine, a commonly used antidepressant. Kessanol and...

Japanese kesso root oil contains a considerable amount of tricyclic ethers among which kessane (216) 231) is the major component, together with its hydroxy derivatives (217) 262) and (218) 230). a-Kessyl alcohol (217) was described as being odorless 185).
