• Description: Taraxasterol acetate is a sesquiterpene lactone that has shown anti-inflammatory activity and inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines. It also possesses antifungal activity against various fungi, such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. Taraxasterol acetate can be used for the treatment of infectious diseases, as well as for the prevention of inflammation. This compound has been found to work by binding to specific enzymes that are involved in the inflammatory response. These enzyme interactions prevent the production of pro-inflammatory molecules and cytokines, which are substances that trigger an immune response. The structure of taraxasterol acetate is similar to 3-o-caffeoylquinic acid, a natural compound found in plants such as Angelica Dahurica. Taraxasterol acetate is a component of several species of plants, including some medicinal herbs such as Angelicae Dahuricae. This compound can be purified
