Elemicin (Standard)
Elemicin is an orally active alkenylbenzene widely distributed in many herbs and spices. Elemicin inhibits Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 (SCD1) by metabolic activation. Elemicin has anti-influenza activities, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiviral activities. Elemicin and its reactive metabolite of 1′-Hydroxyelemicin can induce hepatotoxicity[1][2][3][4].
