Actions and spectrum:Â
caryophyllene is a natural bicyclic sesquiterpene that belongs to the class of chemicals known as terpenoids. It is found in various plants, especially in spices like black pepper, cloves, and cannabis. caryophyllene is known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and antioxidant properties.
It has shown potential as a therapeutic agent in various preclinical studies due to its ability to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, specifically the CB2 receptor. This interaction is believed to contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects and potential as a neuroprotective and anti-cancer agent.Â

Pharmacology:Â
caryophyllene is a natural bicyclic sesquiterpene found in various plants, spices, and essential oils. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, specifically acting as a selective CB2 receptor agonist. This interaction contributes to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and potential neuroprotective properties.
caryophyllene is also known for its analgesic effects, which may help alleviate pain and discomfort. Additionally, it exhibits antimicrobial and antifungal activities, making it potentially beneficial in combating infections. Its unique pharmacological profile and safety make it an interesting candidate for further research and potential therapeutic applications, though more clinical studies are needed to fully understand its pharmacological effects and medical uses. Â
Pharmacodynamics:Â
Pharmacokinetics:Â
AbsorptionÂ
caryophyllene is primarily absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally. It can also be absorbed through the skin when applied topically or inhaled when in vapor form.Â
DistributionÂ
Once absorbed, caryophyllene is distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream. It has a lipophilic nature, meaning it tends to accumulate in fatty tissues.Â
MetabolismÂ
caryophyllene is metabolized in the liver by various enzymes, including cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. The metabolism may result in the formation of metabolites that are further processed for elimination.Â
Elimination and excretionÂ
After metabolism, the metabolites and unmetabolized caryophyllene are eliminated from the body. The primary route of excretion is through the urine, while a small portion may also be excreted through feces and exhaled air.Â
Administration:Â

Why do we use caryophyllene?Â
caryophyllene is currently under investigation for its potential medicinal properties. Studies suggest that caryophyllene may possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects, making it a promising candidate for various health conditions.
Researchers are particularly interested in its interactions with the endocannabinoid system, as caryophyllene is considered a dietary cannabinoid, albeit non-psychoactive. Preclinical studies also indicate its possible role in pain management, reducing anxiety, and treating metabolic disorders.Â
