| HELENALIN Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Helenalin (6754-13-8) is a novel sesquiterpene lactone which inhibits NFκB1?and displays potent anti-inflammatory activity2. It suppresses essential immune functions of activated CD4+ T cells by multiple mechanisms.3 Helenalin also inhibits telomerase and this activity may be partially responsible for its anti-tumor effects.4 | | Uses | Helenalin is a highly toxic compound, with hepatic and lymphatic tissues particularly vulnerable to its effects. It is believed to be responsible for the toxicity and skin irritation associated with Arnica. If enough of the plant is ingested, the helenalin produces severe gastroenteritis and internal bleeding of the digestive tract. | | References | 1) Lyss?et al.
