Notes: Guaiazulene is a sesquiterpene that has been found in M. chamomilla and has diverse biological activities.{59011,59012,59013} It inhibits lipid peroxidation in rat hepatic microsomes (IC50 = 9.8 μM), as well as scavenges hydroxyl and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; Item No. 14805) radicals in cell-free assays.{59011} It inhibits LPS-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells (EC50 = 10.1 μM) but is cytotoxic to RAW 264.7 cells at higher concentrations with cytotoxic concentration (CC50) values of 29.8 and 30.8 μM in the presence and absence, respectively, of LPS.{59012} Guaiazulene is cytotoxic to N2a neuroblastoma cells and primary rat neurons in a concentration-dependent manner.{59013} It inhibits decreases in hepatic glutathione (GSH) levels induced by paracetamol (acetaminophen; Item No. 10024) in rats when administered at a dose of 250 mg/kg.{59011}
