Descriptions:
pubchem: Carveol is a limonene monoterpenoid that is cyclohex-2-en-1-ol substituted by a methyl group at position 2 and a prop-1-en-2-yl group at position 5. It has a role as a volatile oil component and a plant metabolite.
chebi: A limonene monoterpenoid that is cyclohex-2-en-1-ol substituted by a methyl group at position 2 and a prop-1-en-2-yl group at position 5.
chembl: Unnamed Compound is a small molecule listed in the ChEMBL database but has not progressed to an approved clinical phase.
wikipedia: Carveol is a natural unsaturated, monocyclic monoterpenoid alcohol that is a constituent of spearmint essential oil in the form of cis-(−)-carveol. It is a colorless fluid soluble in oils, but insoluble in water and has an odor and flavor that resemble those of spearmint and caraway.  Consequently, it is used as a fragrance in cosmetics and as a flavor additive in the food industry.
It has been found to exhibit chemoprevention of mammary carcinogenesis (prevents breast cancer).
An alpha-trans-dihydroxy derivative, (1R,2R,6S)-3-methyl-6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-3-ene-1,2-diol, possesses potent antiparkinsonian activity in animal models.
