Occurrence
editPlaunotol has been identified as present in Croton sublyratus[1] and Croton stellatopilosus.[2] In plants, the compound is biosynthesized by hydroxylation of geranylgeraniol, a reaction which is catalyzed by the enzyme geranylgeraniol 18-hydroxylase.[3] A laboratory synthesis of plaunotol has been reported.[4]
Pharmacology
editPlaunotol has antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria that causes gastric ulcers.[5] In Japan, plauntool is used as a pharmaceutical drug under the trade name Kelnac for the treatment of gastritis and gastric ulcers.[6]
