Disease relevance of Germacranolide

 

High impact information on Germacranolide

  • Costunolide, a germacranolide sesquiterpene lactone that exists in several medicinal plants, is known to be a possible anti-cancer and chemopreventive agent for tumorigenesis [2].
  • Serotonin release inhibition was shown to be significantly correlated with the content of the germacranolide sesquiterpene lactone, parthenolide, although other sesquiterpene lactones from this plant and other members of the Asteraceae were also shown to be active [3].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Germacranolide

  • Parthenolide, a germacranolide-type sesquiterpene lactone, was estimated in Tanacetum parthenium (L.) cultivated in Egypt by using colorimetric, planar chromatographic, and high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods [4].
