CAS 546-43-0: (+)-Alantolactone
Description:(+)-Alantolactone is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactone, primarily derived from plants in the Asteraceae family, particularly from the roots of Inula helenium. It is characterized by its cyclic structure, which includes a lactone functional group, contributing to its reactivity and biological activity. This compound typically appears as a pale yellow to colorless liquid or solid, with a distinctive aromatic odor. (+)-Alantolactone exhibits various biological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and potential anticancer activities, making it of interest in pharmacological research. Its solubility is generally higher in organic solvents than in water, which is a common trait among many organic compounds. The compound's stereochemistry, indicated by the (+) designation, refers to its specific optical activity, which is important for its interaction with biological systems. Due to these characteristics, (+)-Alantolactone is studied for its potential therapeutic applications, although further research is necessary to fully understand its mechanisms and efficacy.
