Citronellal

Citronellal is a monoterpene that can be found in the essential oils in various aromatic species of plants, with antiinflammatory and antinociceptive properties. Citronellal attenuates mechanical nociception, mediated in part by the NO-cGMP-ATP-sensitive K+ channel pathway. Citronellal induces reduction of spontaneuous activity, ataxia, analgesia, and sedation in vivo. Citronellal can attenuate mechanical nociception response in mouse model[1][2].
