The allergen eudesmanolide sesquiterpene lactone was
isolated from elecampane (Inula helenium L.). With
dehydrocostuslactone and costunolide, it is a component
of the (sesquiterpene) lactone-mix, used to detect
sensitization to Compositae.
Alantolactone has been used:
- in cell viability assay
- to examine the percentage of multicentrosomal mitosis in low and high passage human embryonic stem cells (hESC)
- in assessment of degranulation
Alantolactone is sesquiterpene lactone that possesses anti-inflammatory property. Alantolactone have been studied to be developed as a novel agent against human liver cancer.
anthelmintic, antibacterial, antineoplastic
ChEBI: A sesquiterpene lactone that is 3a,5,6,7,8,8a,9,9a-octahydronaphtho[2,3-b]furan-2-one bearing two methyl substituents at positions 5 and 8a as well as a methylidene substituent at position 3.
This substance is a primary reference substance with assigned absolute purity (considering chromatographic purity, water, residual solvents, inorganic impurities). The exact value can be found on the certificate. Produced by PhytoLab GmbH & Co. KG
Alantolactone is a sesquiterpene lactone disrupts the Cripto-1/ActRII complexes, resulting in an induction of activin/SMAD3 signaling. Alantolactone inhibits proliferation in cancer cells with no affect on normal cells.
