Sclareol

Sclareol is a fragrant chemical compound found in Salvia sclarea, from which it derives its name. It is classified as a bicyclic diterpene alcohol. It is an amber colored solid with a sweet, balsamic scent.[1] Sclareol is also able to kill human leukemic cells and colon cancer cells by apoptosis.[2][3]
