Description

Tricaprin is a natural product that has been found to have anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic effects. It is the major active component of the bark of the tree Trichilia emetica and has been shown to be effective against chronic inflammatory diseases in mice. Tricaprin prevents chronic inflammation by inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-1β. This effect is mediated through inhibition of transcriptional activation by nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB). Tricaprin also inhibits NFkB activity by blocking its binding to DNA, thereby preventing NFkB from activating genes that code for pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, tricaprin has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro, including breast cancer cells. Tricaprin has also been shown to interfere with physiological functions related to fat metabolism, such as lipolysis and caproic acid
