Himachalol
Himachalol, a sesquiterpene, is an orally active antispasmodic and anticancer constituent found in the wood of Cedrus deodara. Himachalol has anti-proliferative activity against the melanoma cells, and induces apoptosis (decreases Bcl-2 level and increases Bax level) . Himachalol has systemic hypotension and peripheral vasodilation effect. Himachalol inhibits Carbachol-induced spasm of the intestine. The LD50 of Himachalol in mice is 265 mg/kg (p.o.) and 247 mg/kg (i.p.) [1][2].
