α-Humulene

SKU: orb1297468

Description

α-Humulene, a sesquiterpene isolated from Salvia officinalis essential oil, exhibits antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties. Its mechanisms involve suppressing tumor cell proliferation and modulating inflammatory pathways by inhibiting TNF-α production and downregulating COX-2 and iNOS expression, as demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo research models.

Bioactivity

−
In Vitro
S. officinalis essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and fractionated with column chromatography; the essential oil and its fractions were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). The cytotoxic activity was evaluated in cellular lines of breast cancer MCF-7, colon cancer HCT-116, and murine macrophage RAW264.7 cell lines by the MTT assay Results: the sub-subfraction F1.1.1 of S. officinalis essential oil containing alpha-humulene present highest activity on RAW264.7 and HCT-116 with IC(50) values of 41.9 and 77.3 mu g/ml, respectively. The sub-subfraction F1.2.1 of S. officinalis essential oil with trans-caryophyllene(Alpha-caryophyllene) showed less activity on RAW246.7 and HCT-116 with IC(50) values of 90.5 and 145.8 mu g/ml.
