| Name | Taraxerol |
| Description | Taraxerol(Alnulin) is an anti-inflammatory and anticancer compound derived from dandelion.Taraxerol reduces acute inflammation and induces apoptosis by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway. |
| In vitro | Taraxerol (0-100 μM; 24 or 48 hours) significantly reduced cell viability to 95% (20 μM), 89.8% (40 μM), 82.6% (60 μM), 72.9% (80 μM), and 63.6% (100 μM). The cell viability of this compound in HeLa cells at 20 μM and 100 μM concentrations within 48 hours was 90.7% and 53.6%, respectively.[1] Taraxerol (80 μM; 24 or 48 hours) induces apoptosis and cell death in HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner. Annexin V/PI double staining method showed that compared to the control group’s apoptotic cell count of 6.5% (early stage) and 0.5% (late stage), Taraxerol significantly induced apoptosis to 24.2% (early stage) and 16.2% (late stage).[1] |
| In vivo | Taraxerol (5 and 10 mg/kg; i.p.) reduces carrageenan-induced paw edema. The effect of 5mg/kg Taraxerol was significant (p<0.05) only after 4 hours of carrageenan treatment.[2] |
