Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Tomentosin, a sesquiterpene lactone primarily isolated from Inula viscosa and related plant species, exhibits a range of bioactivities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. Studies have shown that tomentosin induces apoptosis and inhibits proliferation in various cancer cell lines, such as breast, lung, and colon cancers, by modulating pathways like NF-κB, STAT3, and MAPK. Its anti-inflammatory properties are linked to the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, making it a potential candidate for inflammatory disease treatment. Additionally, tomentosin has demonstrated antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi.
