β-Elemene (Cat No.: R066610) is a natural sesquiterpene compound found in the essential oils of various plants, particularly in Curcuma wenyujin (a species of turmeric). It has been studied for its potential anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. β-Elemene exerts cytotoxic effects on cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor growth. It has also shown promise in enhancing the efficacy of other chemotherapy drugs. Despite its therapeutic potential, more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and clinical applications.
