Description

(-)-beta-Elemene is a natural product with antifungal and anticancer properties. It has been shown to have strong in vitro activity against myeloma cell lines, HL-60 cells, and K562 cells, which are all human cancer cell lines. (-)-beta-Elemene has also been shown to be active against group P2 bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. This compound has been found to inhibit the growth of solid tumours in vivo. (-)-beta-Elemene inhibits the energy metabolism of cells by altering the mitochondrial membrane potential and blocking ATP synthesis. It also induces apoptosis by regulating key cell signaling pathways, such as caspase activation and Akt/mTOR pathway inhibition.
