(E) -β-Farnesene

(E) -β-Farnesene (trans-β-Farnesene) is an aphid alarm pheromone, which can be found in Phlomis aurea Decne essential oil. (E) -β-Farnesene shows good binding score with a value of -30.64 kcal/mol to the CDK2 receptor. (E) -β-Farnesene also exhibits good affinity to odorant-binding protein 3 (OBP3) . (E) -β-Farnesene can be used as a feeding stimulant for the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis[1][2][3][4].
