Pharmacological action

Myrtenol is a bio-active isolate of Taxus. Myrtenol, a monoterpene alcohol, has been shown to possess numerous pharmacological properties,

such as gastroprotective, antinociceptive, anticancer, antihyperglycemic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and

anxiolytic-like effects
