Description
α-Asarone is a component of certain essential oils used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Although carcinogenic, α-asarone has been shown to be neuroprotective and radioprotective in mice when given at 50 mg/kg. It also lowers serum cholesterol in rats, specifically reducing LDL-cholesterol levels and cholesterol saturation index, by directly inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase (IC50 = 3 mM). α-Asarone also directly interacts with and inhibits certain isoforms of cytochrome P450 (IC50 = 55.2 and 65.2 μg/ml for CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, respectively).
