Caryophyllene Terpene

β-Caryophyllene (beta-Caryophyllene)

Caryophyllene Terpene Compound Representation
Chemical Formula: C15H24

Spice/Gasoline Vaporises at 119°C (246°F)

Caryophyllene can show up smelling musky and spicy or earthy and sweet. You likely consume caryophyllene without even realising it in black pepper; as well as cinnamon, cloves, and oregano.

Caryophyllene was one of the first cannabis-derived compounds – other than THC, CBD, and CBN – which was found to bind directly to endocannabinoid receptors in the body.

Caryophyllene is unique because it’s the only terpene that also acts as a dietary cannabinoid. That means it activates our endocannabinoid system, binding with CB2 receptors. This activation is responsible for its reputation as a pain reliever, but this terpene has a variety of other purported medicinal benefits, ranging from better sleep to protecting our brain, and even extending our lives.

Caryophyllene is a unique terpene in several ways; the molecular structure has three isoprene units, making it bigger than other terpenes, which only have two. It also contains a cyclobutane ring, where the shape of the cyclobutane compound is twisted.

Cyclobutane rings are rare due to torsional strain (resistance to twisting) and aren’t present in other cannabis terpenes.
