Costunolide Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Beschreibung
Costunolide is a germacranolide sesquiterpene lactone
extracted from costus oil. With alantolactone and
dehydrocostuslactone, it is a component of lactone mix
used to elicit reactions in Compositae-sensitive patients.
An erythema-multiform-like occupational contact
dermatitis case occurred in a chemistry student
after accidental exposure to costus oil (CJ Le Coz & JP
Lepoittevin, unpublished results).
Chemische Eigenschaften
White crystalline powder, soluble in chloroform, derived from woodsy, Inula magnifica, Kerria japonica, Malachite.
Verwenden
Costunolide is the oil extracted from Saussurea lappa is used in perfumery and in the Orient for all kinds of diseases.
Definition
ChEBI: Costunolide is a germacranolide with anthelminthic, antiparasitic and antiviral activities. It has a role as an anthelminthic drug, an antiinfective agent, an antineoplastic agent, an antiparasitic agent, an antiviral drug and a metabolite. It is a germacranolide and a heterobicyclic compound.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Costunolide has anti-ulcer and antipyretic properties. It inhibits the cellular proliferation of melanin, human lamin-B by farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (hPTP1B). Costunolide has strong larvicidal activity against
A.albopictus. It inhibits the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and DNA-binding activity of nuclear factor kappa B subunit (NF-κB). It might function as a natural herbicide.
Biologische Aktivität
Inhibitor of human telomerase activity (IC 50 = 65 μ M in MCF-7 breast cancer cells). Suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis in a variety of human tumor cell lines. Selectively blocks endothelial cell proliferation induced by VEGF. Inhibits expression of iNOS and IL-1 β and disrupts NF- κ B activation. Displays anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antiviral properties.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Costunolide is a sesquiterpene lactone originally isolated from plants widely used in many herbal medicines. It has a variety of effects. Costunolide is a potent inducer of apoptosis, a potent anti-cancer agent, has anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-fungal, antimycobacterial activity and has been shown to inhibit telomerase activity.
Kontakt-Allergie
This germacranolide sesquiterpene lactone is extracted from costus oil. With alantolactone and dehydrocostunolide, it is a component of lactone mix used to elicit reactions in patients sensitive to Asteraceae-Compositae. An erythema-multiform-like occupational contact dermatitis case occurred in a chemical student after an accidental exposure to costus oil.
