Project Description
Product Description
Parthenolide is a natural product of sesquiterpene lactones, which is isolated from medicinal plants such as Tansy and Tsoonflower. These plants are widely used for fever, deworming and anti-inflammatory. Parthenolide is a chemical substance with a molecular formula of C15H20O3 and a molecular weight of 248.32. Parthenolide has many important pharmacological activities, such as anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerosis.
Benefits
1. Parthenolide can inhibit the inflammatory protein assembly of a group of oligomer molecules of the innate immune system, and has the effect of inhibiting innate immunity.
2. Parthenolide inhibits IkB protein phosphorylation and NF-KB activation through intracellular mechanisms to play an anti-inflammatory effect.
3. Parthenolide plays a role of chemical anti-cancer and anti-tumor by inhibiting AP-1 and MAP kinase.
4. Parthenolide can induce apoptosis, differentiation and proliferation in some types of cancer cells by inhibiting NF-KB and inducing oxidative stress, and play an anti-platelet effect.
5. Parthenolide has antiviral activity and plays an antiviral effect.
