Alpha-thujone(CAT: R072414) is a naturally occurring monoterpene ketone found in various plants, including some species of the Artemisia genus. Its mode of action involves interacting with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the brain, resulting in inhibitory effects and potentially leading to neurological effects. Pharmacologically, alpha-thujone is not used as a therapeutic drug due to its neurotoxic properties. In the past, it was used in alcoholic beverages like absinthe, contributing to its reputation for psychoactive effects. However, excessive consumption of alpha-thujone can lead to adverse reactions, and its use in alcoholic beverages is now strictly regulated in many countries.
