Product Description
Taraxerone is isolated from Sedum sarmentosum . Taraxerone enhances effects on alcohol dehydrogenase ( ADH ) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase ( ALDH ) activities with EC 50 values of 512.42 and 500.16 μM, respectively
In Vivo
Taraxerone significantly lowers the plasma alcohol and acetaldehyde concentrations in mice. Compare to the control group, the ADH and ALDH expressions in the liver tissues are abruptly increased in the taraxerone-treated groups after ethanol exposure . Taraxerone prevents catalase, superoxide dismutase, and reduces glutathione concentrations from the decrease induced by ethanol administration . MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as scalarane sesterterpenoids. These are sesterterpenoids with a structure based on the scalarane backbone. Scalarane is a tetracyclic compound, which is similar the homoandrostane with five methyl groups at the 4-, 4-, 8-, 17-, 17a-positions.
