Dehydrocostus Lactone

Dehydrocostus Lactone ((-) -Dehydrocostus lactone) is a natural sesquiterpene that can be isolated from Saussurea lappa. Dehydrocostus Lactone has multiple activities such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-tumor, and immunomodulatory effects. Dehydrocostus Lactone has an MIC of 2 µg/mL against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Dehydrocostus Lactone can also inhibit the killing activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and induce apoptosis in tumor cells[1][2][3][4].
