Ergolide is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the dried flowers of Inula Britannica. Ergolide inhibits inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclo-oxygenase-2 expression in RAW 264.7 macrophages through the inactivation of NF-κB[1]. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Ergolide is a sesquiterpene lactone that is decahydroazuleno[6,5-b]furan-2,5-dione substituted by methyl groups at positions 4a and 8, a methylidene group at position 3 and an acetyloxy group at position 4. It has been isolated from the aerial parts of Inula hupehensis. It has a role as a metabolite, an anti-inflammatory agent, a plant metabolite, an antineoplastic agent and a NF-kappaB inhibitor. It is a gamma-lactone, a cyclic ketone, an acetate ester, an organic heterotricyclic compound and a sesquiterpene lactone. | [IC 50]
