Tropolone Usage And Synthesis |
Seven-carbon ring compound |
Tropolone, also known as tohenone and 2-hydroxygenone, is a kind of seven-carbon ring compound, which is weakly acidic and has the properties of aromatic compounds, double bond and weak ketone. There are more than ten kinds of compounds known in nature containing seven-carbon rings:
- Hinokitiol, as a red iron complex, is found in cypress wood in Taiwan.
- Alpha- and gamma-thujapricin (β-body is the same as hinokitiol) are found in cypress and coniferous plants. It acts as an antibacterial agent to the wood for anticorrosion
- α- body and β-body also exist in the cypress essential oil. Stipitatic acid (6- hydroxyaryl heptanone-4-carboxylic acid) is the metabolite of penicillium, and has an antibacterial effect.
- Purpurogallin, as glycoside, is found in the galls of mistletoe plants and can be used as a phenol oxidase test.
- As nootkatin of the nootka heartwood and subalkaloids of colchicine and the like of colchicum used as inhibitor.
According to the properties of the compounds above, the scientists speculate that tocophenone plays an important role in the metabolic process of living components. It wss Japanese scientists Tetsuo Nozoe who first paid attention to tropolone in 1936 when he was researching hinokitiol, while the work in Europe and the United States started from the structure of stipitatic acid and colchicine, going further after 1950. |
Uses |
Known as pyrrole pesticide, acaricide with new structure, it has been proved to have good biological control effect on boring, piercing-sucking and chewing insects and mites, better than cypermethrin and cypermethrin. Also its acaricidal activity is stronger than dicofol and tricyclic tin. This agent is characterized with the following: broad-spectrum pesticide and acaricide; both stomach poisoning and contact toxicity; no mutual resistance with other pesticides; moderate residual activity in crops; selective and systemic activity in nutrient solution absorbed by root system; moderate oral toxicity and lower dermal toxicity to mammalian life; low effective spray rate (100g active ingredient / hm2). Its significant insecticidal, acaricidal activity and unique chemical structure has received widespread attention and attention. |
Toxicity |
The acute oral toxicity LD50 in rats was 459 mg / kg (female) , 223 mg / kg (male) and (662 mg / kg, rat). The acute dermal toxicity LD(50) in rabbit was no less than 2000mg/kg. There was mild irritation to the eye of rabbits. LC50 in Japanese carp is 0.5mg / L (48h) . An improved test and hamster ovary test, done by Ames, showed no mutations had been caused. Japanese carp LC50 is 0.5mg / L (48h) |

Hinokitiol Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties |
Hinokitiol is a tropolone derivative containing an unsaturated seven-membered carbon ring. It is a monoterpenoid – cyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-one substituted by a hydroxy group at position 2 and an isopropyl group at position 4. It is a enol and a cyclic ketone. It derives from a hydride of a cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene. Thujaplicins are soluble in organic solvents and aqueous buffers.Hinokitiol provides acetone on vigorous oxidation and gives the saturated monocyclic diol upon catalytic hydrogenation.It is stable to alkali and acids, forming salts or remaining unchanged, but does not convert to catechol derivatives. Hinokitiol, as other thujaplicins and tropolones, reversibly binds metal ions. It forms complex salts with metal ions. |
benefits |
Hinokitiol (β-thujaplicin) is a naturally occurring antioxidant, found in the heartwood of certain plants. It acts as a metal chelator and, also, enhances the activity of superoxide dismutase (Huang et al., 2015). It was found to be very protective in the assay. It has not been previously studied as a HC protectant. In addition to its antioxidant properties, hinokitiol has been shown to reduce inflammation via suppression of NFκB, and metalloproteinases, and to activate caspase 3. The former activities could contribute to its protective effect.
Hinokitiol is a superpower ingredient that has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-melanogenic properties. Best of all, hinokitiol is as gentle as it is powerful. Hinokitiol’s properties allow it to target the inflammatory redness and blemishes seen in rosacea and acne. Hinokitiol is effective against P. acnes bacteria, and there is no known acquired resistance to it, unlike other prescription antibiotics. |
Safety |
The safety of hinokitiol has been tested in rats and no carcinogenic effect to rats was found.In 2006, hinokitiol was categorized under the Domestic substances list (DSL) in Canada as non-persistent, non-bioaccumulative and non-toxic to aquatic organisms. |

Definition |
ChEBI: A monoterpenoid that is cyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-one substituted by a hydroxy group at position 2 and an isopropyl group at position 4. Isolated from Thuja plicata and Chamaecyparis obtusa, it exhibits antimicrobial activities. |
Anticancer Research |
Studied in xenograft tumors such lung adenocarcinoma cell, EGFR-TKI-resistantlines PC9-IR and H1975 in which the growth inhibition was observed, a novel antitumormechanism was hypothesized. In summary, the hinokitiol can induce DNAdamage and autophagy (Rodrigues et al. 2015). |
