Costunolide Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
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dermatitis case occurred in a chemistry student after accidental exposure to costus oil (CJ Le Coz & JP Lepoittevin, unpublished results).
Chemical Properties
White crystalline powder, soluble in chloroform, derived from woodsy, Inula magnifica, Kerria japonica, Malachite.
Uses
(+)-Costunolide is an inhibitor of osteoclast differentiation, acting as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant agent. It is a sesquiterpene lactone which mediates apoptosis.
Uses
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.
General Description
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.
Biological Activity
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.
Contact allergens
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.
