During the digestion process of ruminants, phytol converted to phytanic acid. Phytol was readily absorbed in the small intestine and converted to phytanic acid in human. In a number of metabolic disorders, Phytanic acid accumulated to toxic levels. The conversion of phytol to phytanic acid was regulated via the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). Phytol showed sedative and anxiolytic effects through interaction with the GABAA receptor, and it was explored as an antischistosomal agent in a mouse model of schistosomiasis.
