Phytol is an extremely common terpenoid, found in all plants esterified to Chlorophyll to confer lipid solubility[citation needed].; Phytol is a natural linear diterpene alcohol which is used in the preparation of vitamins E and K1. It is also a decomposition product of chlorophyll. It is an oily liquid that is nearly insoluble in water, but soluble in most organic solvents. -- Wikipedia (2e,7R,11R)-3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol (2E,7R,11R)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-ol (2E)-3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol (2E)(7R,11R)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-ol (e)-phytol 2-Hexadecen-1-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-, (2E,7R,11R)- 2-Hexadecen-1-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-, (R-(R*,R*-(E)))- 2-Hexadecen-1-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-, [R-[R*,R*-(E)]]- 3,7,11,15-teramethyl-2-hexadecene-1-ol 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol 3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-ol Phytol Trans-phytol C20H40O 296.531 296.307915902 (2E)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-ol (2E)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-ol 150-86-7 CC(C)CCCC(C)CCCC(C)CCC\C(C)=C\CO InChI=1S/C20H40O/c1-17(2)9-6-10-18(3)11-7-12-19(4)13-8-14-20(5)15-16-21/h15,17-19,21H,6-14,16H2,1-5H3/b20-15+ BOTWFXYSPFMFNR-HMMYKYKNSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic diterpenoids.

Cytotoxic 859 A role played by the molecular entity or part thereof which causes the development of a pathological process. Diuretic 883 An agent that promotes the excretion of urine through its effects on kidney function. Hepatoprotective 981 Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the liver. Hypolipidemic 1020 Immunomodulator 1031 Biologically active substance whose activity affects or plays a role in the functioning of the immune system. Immunostimulant 1032 A substance that augments, stimulates, activates, potentiates, or modulates the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. A classical agent (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contains bacterial antigens. It could also be endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Its mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy is related to its antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity. Inhibitor 1432 A substance that diminishes the rate of a chemical reaction.
