CAS 34157-83-0: Celastrol
Description:Celastrol is a naturally occurring triterpenoid compound derived from the root of the Thunder God Vine (Tripterygium wilfordii). It is characterized by its complex molecular structure, which includes a pentacyclic triterpene framework. Celastrol exhibits a range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties, making it a subject of interest in pharmacological research. The compound has been shown to modulate various signaling pathways, including those involved in the regulation of heat shock proteins and the NF-κB pathway, contributing to its therapeutic potential. Celastrol is typically found as a yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents like dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical formula is C30H48O3, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 456.7 g/mol. Due to its potent biological effects, celastrol is being investigated for its potential use in treating conditions such as cancer, obesity, and autoimmune diseases, although further studies are needed to fully understand its mechanisms and therapeutic applications.
