Acetyleugenol is a phenylpropanoid compound found in cloves. It is the second in abundance to the related compound eugenol in certain extract preparations. [1] [2] Like eugenol, its found in several plants such as Acacia nilotica and Piper betle [3] [4] [5] and has similar antibacterial and antifungal properties on C. albicans and S. mutans . [6] It inhibits aggregation of platelets and has partial agonistic activity on AhR. [2] [7] [8]
Acetyleugenol has characteristic odor reminiscent of cloves and thus used as fragrance. [9] [10]
