Helenalin (6754-13-8) is a novel sesquiterpene lactone which inhibits NFκB1 and displays potent anti-inflammatory activity2. It suppresses essential immune functions of activated CD4+ T cells by multiple mechanisms.3 Helenalin also inhibits telomerase and this activity may be partially responsible for its anti-tumor effects.4
