General description

Atractylenolide I is one of the active ingredients of Rhizoma Atractylodes macrocephala which is obtained from the dried root and stem of Atractylodes Macrocephala Koidz. It is a sesquiterpene compound of hydrophobic nature.

Application

Atractylenolide I is a phytochemical that may be used to study its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis activities. Atractylenolide I may be used and studied as a postitive modulator of GABA-induced chloride currents I(GABA) and as an inhibitor of aromatases. Atractylenolide I may be used as a reference material in assays to detect its presence in plant root extracts and biological milieu such as plasma.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Atractylenolide I has been reported to have an anti-inflammatory activity due to its inhibitory effect on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and the production of nitric oxide (NO). It also shows anti-cancer nature, thereby being used in the management of gastric cancer cachexia symptoms. Additionally, it has anti-angiogenic, pro-oxidative and cytotoxic characteristics.
Phytochemical from Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal preparations. Atractylenolide I is an anti-inflammatory that is reported to inhibit angiogenesis.

Ten compounds were isolated from the dichloromethane extract of Atractylodes macrocephala and their aromatase inhibiting activities were tested using an in vitro fluorescent-based aromatase assay. The results indicated that atractylenolide I, atractylenolide II and atractylenolide III had inhibition ratios of

A new high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed for quantitative analysis of atractylenolide I in rat plasma using buspirone as internal standard (I.S.). Rat plasma samples were deproteined with methanol and acetonitrile (1:1, v/v). Atractylenolide I and I.S.
