Farnesol

Identification

Generic Name
Farnesol
DrugBank Accession Number
DB02509
Background

A colorless liquid extracted from oils of plants such as citronella, neroli, cyclamen, and tuberose. It is an intermediate step in the biological synthesis of cholesterol from mevalonic acid in vertebrates. It has a delicate odor and is used in perfumery.
