Zaluzanin C is a sesquiterpene lactone. Zaluzanin C has anti-inflammatory activity and can inhibit the production of mtROS, block the NF-κB signaling pathway, and reduce the production of TNF-α. In addition, Zaluzanin C can inhibit the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into mature adipocytes[1][2][3].

ChEBI: A sesquiterpene lactone that is decahydroazuleno[4,5-b]furan-2(3H)-one substituted by methylidene groups at positions 3, 6 and 9 and a hydroxy group at position 8.
