Inulicin is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Inula species, particularly Inula helenium, and is known for its bioactive properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Its mechanism of action is thought to involve the inhibition of pro-inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, likely through suppression of NF-κB signaling pathways. As a member of the eudesmanolide class of sesquiterpenes, inulicin may also interact with cellular thiol groups, contributing to its bioactivity via alkylation of protein cysteine residues.
