Hinokitiol has inhibitory effects on ''Chlamydia trachomatis'' and may be clinically useful as a topical drug.〔Chedgy, Russell.

LAP Lambert Academic Publishing, 2010, ISBN 3-8383-4661-0, ISBN 978-3-8383-4661-8〕 The name originates from the fact it was originally isolated in Taiwanese hinoki in 1936. It is actually almost absent in Japanese hinoki while it is contained in high concentration (about 0.04% of heartwood mass) in ''Juniperus cedrus'', Hiba cedar wood (''Thujopsis dolabrata'') and Western red cedar (''Thuja plicata''). It can be readily extracted from the cedarwood with solvent and ultrasonication. ==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「Hinokitiol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
