  • Helenalin is an anti-inflammatory sesquiterpene lactone. Helenalin selectively inhibits transcription factor NF-κB by directly targeting p65. Helenalin has alkylating activity, targets the cysteine sulfhydryl groups in the p65 subunit of NF-κB, thereby inhibits its DNA binding[1][2].

In Vitro Helenalin (10 μM; 20-120 minutes) causes complete inhibition of NF-κB DNA binding after 80 minutes[1]. The anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic phytochemical, Helenalin is a potent inhibitor of periodic Skp2 accumulation, an F-box protein mediating SCF E3 ligase ubiquitylation and degradation of both CKIs during S phase progression[3]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: Jurkat T cells Concentration: 10 μM Incubation Time: 20-120 minutes Result: Caused complete inhibition of NF-κB DNA binding after 80 minutes.
In Vivo Helenalin (25 mg/kg; i.p.; 6 to 12 hours) administers to immature male ICR mice caused a rapid decrease in hepatic glutathione levels[2]. Animal Model: Immature male ICR mice[2] Dosage: 25 mg/kg Administration: i.p.; 6 to 12 hours Result: Caused a rapid decrease in hepatic glutathione levels.
