α-Thujone

Overview

α-Thujone is a monoterpene isolated from Thuja occidentalis essential oil with potent anti-tumor activities. α-Thujone is a reversible modulator of the GABA type A receptor and the IC 50 for α-Thujone is 21 μM in suppressing the GABA -induced currents. α-Thujone induces ROS accumulation-dependent cytotoxicity, also induces cell apoptosis and autophagy . α-Thujone has antinociceptive, insecticidal, and anthelmintic activity, and can cross the blood-brain barrier.
