Perillene (3-Isohexenylfuran) is an actiive constituent in the drug which promotes enterocinesia. Perillen demonstrates strong resistance activity against staphylococcus aureus and E.coli.
S)-(-)-Perillic acid is a terpenoid natural product capable of inhibiting protein pentosylisation and protein acylation. It exhibits anti-infective and anti-cancer activity, inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cells while increasing intracellular protein levels of Bax, p21, and caspase-3.
Perilloxin possesses measurable inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), exhibiting an IC50 value of 23.2 μM, and this biochemical property supports its application as a functional research molecule for studying inflammatory signaling pathways, enzyme inhibition mechanisms, and structure–activity relationships relevant to prostaglandin biosynthesis and inflammation-associated biological processes.
