Names

[ CAS No. ]:
487-11-6

[ Name ]:
Elemicin

[Synonym ]:
1,2,3-trimethoxy-5-prop-2-enylbenzene

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Elemicin is a alkenylbenzene widely distributed in many herbs and spices. Elemicin inhibits Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase 1 (SCD1) by metabolic activation. Elemicin is one of the main components in aromatic food and has antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiviral activities. Elemicin possesses genotoxicity and carcinogenicity[1].
