(-)-dehydrocostus lactone
Dehydrocostus lactone is an organic heterotricyclic compound and guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone that is acrylic acid which is substituted at position 2 by a 4-hydroxy-3,8-bis(methylene)decahydoazulen-5-yl group and in which the hydroxy group and the carboxy group have undergone formal condensation to afford the corresponding gamma-lactone. It has a role as a metabolite, a trypanocidal drug, an antineoplastic agent, a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor, an antimycobacterial drug and an apoptosis inducer. It is a sesquiterpene lactone, a guaiane sesquiterpenoid, an organic heterotricyclic compound and a gamma-lactone. Dehydrocostus lactone is a natural product found in Marshallia obovata, Cirsium carolinianum, and other organisms with data available. See also: Arctium lappa Root (part of).

CONFIDENCE standard compound; ML_ID 36 Dehydrocostus Lactone is a major sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the roots of Saussurea costus. IC50 value: Target: In vitro: Dehydrocostus Lactone promoted apoptosis with increased activation of caspases 8, 9, 7, 3, enhanced PARP cleavage, decreased Bcl-xL expression and increased levels of Bax, Bak, Bok, Bik, Bmf, and t-Bid. We have demonstrated that Dehydrocostus Lactone inhibits cell growth and induce apoptosis in DU145 cells [1]. Dehydrocostus Lactone inhibits NF-kappaB activation by preventing TNF-alpha-induced degradation and phosphorylation of its inhibitory protein I-kappaB alpha in human leukemia HL-60 cells and that dehydrocostus lactone renders HL-60 cells susceptible to TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis by enhancing caspase-8 and caspase-3 activities [2]. Dehydrocostus Lactone inhibited the production of NO in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 cells by suppressing inducible nitric oxide synthase enzyme expression. In vivo: Dehydrocostus Lactone decreased the TNF-alpha level in LPS-activated systems in vivo [3]. Dehydrocostus Lactone is a major sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the roots of Saussurea costus.
