| | alpha-Asarone Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | α-Asarone was used in the synthesis of series of α-asarone isomers and were investigated for their hypolipidemic and antiplatelet activities. It is used in the synthesis of anti-inflammatory neolignan. Also used in lignan syntheses for antiallergic agents. It is clinically used as medication for treating epilepsy, cough, bronchitis and asthma. It exhibits neuroprotective, anti-oxidative, anticonvulsive and cognitive enhancing action. | | Definition | ChEBI: The trans-isomer of asarone. | | General Description | Asarones are toxic morphogenetic agents. It is also known for its chemosterlant and oviposition stimulant properties. Naturally it can be extracted from Acorus calamus. α-Asarone is considered as growth inhibitor. This isomer acts as antifeedant with less toxicity. |
