A bicyclic monoterpene with diverse biological activities; inhibits proliferation of B16/F10-Nex2 mouse melanoma, as well as human A2058 melanoma, HL-60 leukemia, U87MG glioblastoma, and SK-BR-3 breast cancer cells (IC50s = 71.2, 35.2, 27, 55.4, and 34.7 μg/ml, respectively); increases caspase-3 activity and induces apoptosis and ER stress in B16/F10-Nex2 cells at 70 μg/ml; lowers plasma levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and TGs in a Triton WR-1339-induced rat model of hyperlipidemia at 1.5 μg/g; inhibits hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced obesity at 0.2%, dietary; has larvicidal activity against third instar H. armigera larvae (LC50 = 10.64 μg/ml) and ovicidal activity against H. armigera eggs (EC50 = 35.39 μg/ml)
