arturmerone

ar-Turmerone is a natural volatile organic compound extracted from the rhizomes of turmeric (Curcuma longa). ar-Turmerone exhibits oral bioavailability and possesses biological activities such as antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. ar-Turmerone exerts a positive regulatory effect on dendritic cells in mice. Ar-turmerone can induce neural stem cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo, making it useful for research on neurological disorders. Ar-turmerone induces apoptosis in U937 cells.

ar-Turmerone (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving ar-Turmerone. ar-Turmerone ((+)-ar-Turmerone) is a major bioactive compound of the herb Curcuma longa with anti-tumorigenesis and anti-inflammatory activities[1][2][3]. ar-Turmerone ((+)-ar-Turmerone) exerts positive modulation on murine DCs, induces NSC proliferation. And it constitutes a promising therapeutic agent for various neurologic disorders[4][5]. ar-turmerone ((+)-ar-Turmerone) activates apoptotic protein in human lymphoma U937 cells[3].

8-Hydroxy-ar-turmerone may exhibit antitumor activity against breast cancer cells via cell death and cell cycle arrest.
