Parthenin
Sesquiterpene Lactone
Parthenin is a pseudoguaianolide-type sesquiterpene lactone derived from Parthenium hysterophorus L. It demonstrates significant biological activities, such as inducing chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes and exhibiting antimicrobial effects against Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. Additionally, Parthenin functions as an antifeedant and insecticide against agricultural pests, impeding growth in various plant species and nematodes. This compound serves as a valuable research tool for investigations into cancer, malaria, inflammatory diseases, and bacterial pathogenesis.
