Calamenene is a sesquiterpene compound. Calamenene promotes dendritic cell maturation, upregulates CD1a, CD80, CD83, CD86, HLA-DR and CCR7 on the cell surface, reduces endocytic activity, enhances T cell-stimulating capacity, drives Th1 polarization through the secretion of IL-12, induces IFN-γ production, decreases IL-4 generation, and triggers intracellular Ca2+ mobilization as well as dendritic cell migration towards MIP-3β. Calamenene exerts bacteriostatic and bactericidal growth-inhibitory effects against pathogenic *Vibrio harveyi*. Calamenene can be used in studies related to cancer and bacterial infections.
