α-Thujone 是一种从西方金钟柏精油中分离出来的单萜，具有有效的抗肿瘤活性。α-Thujone 是 GABAA 受体的可逆调节剂，在抑制 GABA 诱导的电流时，α-Thujone 的 IC50 为 21 μM。α-Thujone 诱导 ROS 依赖性细胞毒性，还诱导细胞凋亡 (apoptosis ) 和自噬 (autophagy)。α-Thujone 具有抗伤害，杀虫和驱虫活性，并且很容易穿透血脑屏障。

Background:

α-Thujone is a monoterpene isolated from Thuja occidentalis essential oil with potent anti-tumor activities. α-Thujone is a reversible modulator of the GABA type A receptor and the IC50 for α-Thujone is 21 μM in suppressing the GABA-induced currents. α-Thujone induces ROS accumulation-dependent cytotoxicity, also induces cell apoptosis and autophagy. α-Thujone has antinociceptive, insecticidal, and anthelmintic activity, and easily penetrates the blood-brain barrier[1][2][3].
