Cyperenone
Catalog No: CFN91594
Cyperotundone is a sesquiterpene isolated from Nagarmotha (Cyperus rotundus). Cyperotundone is an active constituent in Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Cyperi Rhizoma (CRCR) for treating migraine. In vitro studies demonstrated that Alpinia officinarum-Cyperus rotundus (HP G-X) and the corresponding single herbs significantly reduced IL-6, TNF-α, and COX-2. In vivo investigations indicated that HP G-X can protect the gastric mucosa of mice from ethanol-induced damage by inhibiting the inflammatory reaction and providing analgesia. It can also inhibit the expression of NF-κBp65, COX-2, and TRPV1 protein, reduce the concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α, and relieve heat-induced pain.
