Abstract:

Patchoulol is one of the main active components in Pogostemon cablin,and it is an important index for evaluating P. cablin in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. It can be obtained by natural extraction or synthetic biological engineering. The little amount of patchoulol in P. cablin is the bottleneck of its large-scale application. This paper reviews the research progress on patchoulol synthesis pathway,molecular regulation mechanism and synthetic biology engineering,providing reference for patchoulol development and application.

Key words: Pogostemon cablin, patchoulol, mechanism of molecular regulation, synthetic biology engineering
