Biological Activity

[Description]:

Shionone is the major triterpenoid isolated from Aster tataricus, has anti-tussive, anti-inflammatory activities[1][2]. Shionone possesses a unique six-membered tetracyclic skeleton and 3-oxo-4-monomethyl structure[1].

[In Vivo]

Shionone (orally administration; 80 mg/kg; 3 days; once daily) shows the trend of enhancing sputum secreting, but has no effect on ammonia-induced cough and reduces xylene-induced ear edema[1]. Animal Model: ICR male mice[1] Dosage: 80 mg/kg Administration: Orally administration; 3 days; once daily Result: Reduced the ear edema for 11.3% by use shionone.
