Description

Absinthin is a triterpene, extracted from a Chinese herb, with anti-inflammatory properties.Absinthin is a naturally produced molecule from the plant Artemisia absinthium (Wormwood). It constitutes one of the most bitter chemical agents responsible for Absinthe's distinct taste. Absinthin attenuates LPS-induced ALI through MIP-1α-mediated inflammatory cell infiltration. Absinthin is a promising novel therapeutic candidate for the treatment of ALI.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Mice were treated with various concentrations (20 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg, and 80mg/kg) of absinthin, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce ALI.
Route of Administration: Unknown
In Vitro Use Guide
RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with absinthin (either 10 ug/ml, 50 ug/ml, or 100 ug/ml) plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 ug/ml), or with LPS alone, for 24 h.
