Germacrone
Germacrone is a sesquiterpene compound with multiple biological activities. Germacrone inhibits the H1N1 and H3N2 influenza A virus and the influenza B virus. Germacrone blocks the progressionof arthritis by regulating Th1/Th2 balance and inhibiting NF-κB signaling. Germacrone can arrest the cell cycle at G0/G1 and G2/M phases and induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Germacrone inhibits 5α-reductase and has anti-androgenic effect. Germacrone has neuroprotective functions and can be used for the study of traumatic brain injury (TBI) . Germacrone also has antioxidant activity[1][2][3][4][5].
