(-)-Fenchone, a bicyclic monoterpene, is widely distributed in plants and found in essential oils from Thuja occidentalis. (-)-Fenchone is oxidized to 6-endo-hydroxyfenchone, 6-exo-hydroxyfenchone and 10-hydroxyfenchone derivatives by CYP2A6 and CYP2B6 in human liver microsomes with CYP2A6 playing a more important role than CYP2B6[1].
