Stars
DefinitionA carboxylic ester that is the 2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl ester of (3S)-4-formyl-3-(2-oxoethyl)hex-4-enoic acid. Oleocanthal is found in olive oil but it is not clear whether the natural product is a mixture of E/Z isomers or a single isomer as the two isomers readily interconvert in solution; most pharmacological studies will have been performed using a mixture.

Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Roles:
apoptosis inducer  Any substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor  A cyclooxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of cyclooxygenase 2.
cyclooxygenase 1 inhibitor  A cyclooxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of cyclooxygenase 1.
Hsp90 inhibitor  An EC 3.6.4.10 (non-chaperonin molecular chaperone ATPase) inhibitor that blocks the action of heat shock protein 90.
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
Applications:
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug  An anti-inflammatory drug that is not a steroid. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins.
nutraceutical  A product in capsule, tablet or liquid form that provide essential nutrients, such as a vitamin, an essential mineral, a protein, an herb, or similar nutritional substance.
neuroprotective agent  Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
