What is Alantolactone?
Description
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.
Chemical properties
Crystalline powder
The Uses of Alantolactone
Alantolactone is sesquiterpene lactone that possesses anti-inflammatory property. Alantolactone have been studied to be developed as a novel agent against human liver cancer.
