What is Dehydrocostus lactone?

Description

Dehydrocostus lactone is a natural sesquiterpene first isolated from costus root, which is used in traditional medicine. Dehydrocostus lactone has diverse anti-cancer properties in cells and animal models, causing cell cycle arrest, inducing apoptosis, diminishing multidrug resistance, and suppressing angiogenesis in cancer cells. It also has anti-inflammatory actions in cells, including the inhibition of signaling through STAT1 and STAT3.

Description

A guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone extracted from costus oil. Dehydrocostuslactone is one of the components of lactone-mix, with costunolide and alantolactone, used to detect Compositae-sensitive patients.

The Uses of Dehydrocostus lactone

Dehydrocostus lactone is the oil extracted from Saussurea lappa is used in perfumery and in the Orient for all kinds of diseases.

The Uses of Dehydrocostus lactone

Dehydrocostus Lactone is a compound known to be a growth regulator in plants. Known to affect cell viability and cell cycle distribution it may be useful in the application towards drug-resistant tumors.

What are the applications of Application

Dehydrocostus Lactone is inhibitor of NF kappa B activation via disruption of TNF alpha processes

Definition

ChEBI: An organic heterotricyclic compound and guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone that is acrylic acid which is substituted at position 2 by a 4-hydroxy-3,8-bis(methylene)decahydoazulen-5-yl group and in which the hydroxy group and the carboxy group have undergone formal condensation to afford the corresponding gamma-lactone.
