Alantolactone (CAT: I004009) is a natural sesquiterpene lactone found in various medicinal plants. It exhibits diverse pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Alantolactone has been investigated for its potential as an anticancer agent, as it induces apoptosis and inhibits the growth of cancer cells. It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, alantolactone shows antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi. Although further research is needed, alantolactone holds promise as a therapeutic compound for cancer treatment, inflammation-related conditions, and infectious diseases.
