• CAS 133-04-0 ASARININ

  Description Asarinin is a lignan that has been found in A. sieboldii. It is an epimer of sesamin and a noncompetitive inhibitor of Δ5-desaturase (Ki = 0.28 mM). It is selective for Δ5-desaturase over Δ6- and Δ9-desaturase. Asarinin is cytotoxic to A2780 and SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells (IC50s = 38.45 and 60.87 μM, respectively) but not immortalized ovarian surface epithelial cells (IC50 = >200 μM). It induces apoptosis and activates caspase-3, -8, and -9 in A2780 and SKOV3 cells.
