Carpacin is a naturally occurring organic compound first isolated from the Carpano tree (Cinnamomum sp.), from which it derives its name. It is related to the lignan carpanone.^[1] Carpacin is classified as a phenylpropanoid.

Carpacin has been prepared synthetically from sesamol^[2] and has been studied for potential use as an insecticide,^[3] an antidepressant, and an inhibitor of carcinogenesis.^[2]
