Description

Carvacrol (CAR), a natural monoterpene particularly abundant in plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family, has recently attracted much attention for its many biological properties (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antitumour, antibacterial, and several others). However, CAR has poor chemical-physical properties (low water solubility and high volatility), which hamper its potential pharmacological uses.
