Description

General description

Sesamin is the most abundant lignan isolated from Sesamum indicum or sesame seeds and sesame oil.

Application

Sesamin has been used as a reference standard to study the activity of Cytochrome P450 enzyme sesamin synthase from Sesamum indicum L. in the conversion of pinoresinol to sesamin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sesamin presents multiple health benefits including hypocholesterolemic, anti-hypertensive, anti-carcinogenic, anti-aging, immunoregulatory, hypoglycemic, anti-thrombotic, hepatoprotective, and antioxidant activities. It has also been demonstrated to work synergistically with vitamin E against lipid peroxidation. Sesamin was found to be metabolized into several catechol forms in the liver. These cathecols have a potent ability to scavenge superoxide radicals.

Non-competitive Δ⁵-desaturase inhibitor.
