Vinorine is a direct biosynthetic precursor along the complex pathway to the monoterpenoid indole alkaloid ajmaline, an antiarrhythmic drug from the Indian medicinal plant Rauvolfia serpentina.
(+)-Fenchol, a monoterpenoid discovered in various plants including Cannabis, serves both as a precursor in synthesizing other terpenoids and as a chiral building block for the organic synthesis of numerous compounds. Additionally, formulations incorporating (+)-fenchol are employed as fragrance ingredients.
