Myrtenal is a bicyclic monoterpenoid with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₄O. It is a naturally occurring molecule that can be found in numerous plant species including Hyssopus officinalis, Salvia absconditiflora, and Cyperus articulatus.^[1]

Biological research

Myrtenal was shown to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, which is a common method of treatment of alzheimer's disease and dementia, in-vitro.^[2] In addition, mytenal has been shown to have antioxidant properties in rats.^[3]
