|Section2= }} Cembrene A, or sometimes neocembrene, is a natural monocyclic diterpene isolated from corals of the genus ''Nephthea''. It is a colorless oil with a faint wax-like odor. Cembrene A itself has little importance as chemical entity, being a trail pheromone for termites; however, the chemical structure of cembrene is central to a very wide variety of other natural products found both in plants and in animals.〔''Terpenes: Flavors, Fragrances, Pharmaca, Pheromones'', Eberhard Breitmaier, page 7. ISBN 978-3-527-31786-8〕 Cembrenes are biosynthesized by macrocyclization of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate.〔 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cembrene A」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
