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.
