I-Cinnamomum camphora iwuhlobo lwe-camphor emndenini i-Camphoraceae, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-camphor, i-oil camphor kanye ne-camphor wood. I-Camphor iyababa futhi ifudumele, amaqabunga ayo, ukhuni namagxolo ezimpande angasetshenziswa njengomuthi wokuxosha umoya, ukususa umswakama futhi abulale izinambuzane, njll. Isetshenziselwa kakhulu ukwelapha ukukhubazeka kwamathambo, ukushiswa kwamanzi nomlilo, izilonda nokuvuvukala, utwayi kanye nesikhumba esilumayo, kanye nokulunywa yizinambuzane ezinobuthi. Okwamanje, ucwaningo lwesihlahla se-Camphor lugxile kakhulu engxenyeni kawoyela eguquguqukayo, futhi luncane ucwaningo mayelana nokwakheka kwamakhemikhali nomsebenzi webhayoloji wamagxolo awo kanye{3}}nezingxenye ezingaguquki.
Abacwaningi baye bahlukanisa ama-phenolic rhamnosides amabili amasha (1-2) kanye nama-phenolic compounds angu-12 aziwayo (3-14) kusukela ekukhishweni kwe-ethanolic kwegxolo le-camphor. Izakhiwo ze-compounds 1-14 zihlonzwe yi-NMR, HRESIMS, ORD kanye ne-acid hydrolysis, futhi wonke ama-compounds ahlukaniswa neCamphor okokuqala. Imiphumela yokuhlolwa kwe-in vitro ye-pharmacological ibonise ukuthi i-compound 8 ibonise umsebenzi oqinile wokuvimbela ngokumelene ne-tyrosinase, futhi ama-compounds 1, 3-7, 8-9 kanye ne-13 abonise umsebenzi obalulekile wokuvimbela ngokumelene ne-acetylcholinesterase. Lolu cwaningo lunikeza isisekelo esibalulekile sokuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwenani lokwelapha le-balsam fir bark.
