Presentation Transcript

  1. Chamazulene, 1,4-dimethyl-7-ethylazulene, is extracted from chamomile flowers. It is an anti-inflammatory by virtue of its ability to block the activity of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase. This interferes with the biosynthsis of leukotrienes, a class of molecules that have an important role in inflammatory responses arising from allergies and asthma. Chamazulene contains the C10 bicyclic azulene ring system. With 4n+2 electrons in an uninterrupted planar cycle of p-ortibals it is an aromatic molecule. cc license image Roni G, Flickr
