Asperilin

Asperilin is an orally active sesquiterpene lactone. Asperilin is an effective hydroxyl radical scavenger. Asperilin significantly enhance the lipid peroxidation levels of liver microsomes in various systems. Asperilin leads to a significant decrease in liver glutathione (GSH) levels and an increase in glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity. Asperilin can be used for research on inflammatory conditions[1].
