Description

Atranol is a phenolic compound that is found in plants such as the leaves of the white willow tree. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and is being researched for its potential use in treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Atranol has been shown to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), which are key mediators of inflammation, by inhibiting NFκB activation. The reaction mechanism for atranol's inhibition of IL-1β production involves atranol binding with the cystein residue on IκB kinase β, which prevents phosphorylation and thus activation.
