Description
Arglabin is a sesquiterpene lactone that attenuates inflammation by inhibiting NLRP3. Arglabin also protects pancreatic β-Cells from apoptosis and may help prevent Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

How to use
In Vitro:
The antitumor activity of arglabin proceeds through its inhibition of farnesyl transferase which leads to the activation of RAS proto-oncogene, a process that is believed to play a pivotal role in 20-30% of all human tumors. It actually inhibits the incorporation of farnesyl pyrophosphate into human H-ras proteins by the enzyme farnesyl transferase (FTase).
In Vivo:
Arglabin reduces inflammation and plasma lipids, increases autophagy, and orients tissue macrophages into an anti-inflammatory phenotype in ApoE2.Ki mice fed a high-fat diet.
