Sclareolide (Norambreinolide) is a sesquiterpene lactone natural product derived from various plant sources including Salvia yosgadensis, Salvia sclarea, and cigar tobacco. It is a close analog of Sclareol, a plant antifungal compound.

Granilin (Graniline)e is a natural product.

Helenalin is a selective inhibitor of transcription factor NF-κB by direct targeting of p65. It is an anti-inflammatory sesquiterpene lactone compound with alkylating activity. Through its ability to target the cysteine sulfhydryl groups in the p65 subunit of NF-κB, helenalin effectively inhibits its DNA binding.

Britannin, a sesquiterpene lactone, inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial signaling pathway in human breast cancer cells.

8-epi-Helenalin, a sesquiterpene lactone with anti-tumor properties, is derived from Inula britannica L. var. chinensis (Rupr.) Reg. It demonstrates cytotoxic activity against a range of cancer cell lines, with ED50 values of 12.2 μM for HL-60, 53.8 μM for A549, 9.1 μM for MCF7, 8.7 μM for HCT-15, 18.7 μM for SK-OV-3, and 8.3 μM for Malme-3M, indicating its potential for anti-tumor research [1].

17(13→14)-Abeo-ent-3S*,13S*,16-trihydroxystrob-8(15)-ene is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactone with anti-inflammatory properties [1].

Telekin, a eudesmane-type sesquiterpene lactone compound isolated from Chinese folk medicine Carpesium divaricatum, has been reported to strongly inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells

Shizukanolide, a sesquiterpene lactone extracted from Chloranthus japonicus (Chloranthaceae), has a dehydro derivative that exhibits moderate antifungal activity [1].

(4R,4aS,5aS,6aR,6bS,7aR)-4-Hydroxy-3,6b-dimethyl-5-methylene-4,4a,5,5a,6,6a,7,7a-octahydrocyclopropa[2,3]indeno[5,6-b]furan-2(6bH)-one is a sesquiterpene lactone with a complex bicyclic structure [1].

Tomentosin, a sesquiterpene lactone extracted from Caspian sea raspberry, has potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities, promoting apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells.

Ivangustin, a sesquiterpene lactone derived from the medicinal plant Inula britannica, exhibits significant cytotoxicity against HEp2, SGC-7901 and HCT116 human cancer cell lines.

Scabertopin is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Gentiana scabra with anticancer and bacteriostatic activities.

Arnicolide D is a sesquiterpene lactone. Arnicolide D isolates from Centipeda minima. Arnicolide D modulates the cell cycle, activates the caspase signaling pathway and inhibits the PI3K AKT mTOR and STAT3 signaling pathways. Arnicolide D inhibits Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Arnicolide D exerts strong cytotoxic activity on the human colon carcinoma HT-29 cell line.

Ergolide, a sesquiterpene lactone extracted from the dried flowers of Inula Britannica, effectively hinders the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclo-oxygenase-2 in RAW 264.7 macrophages by deactivating NF-κB.

Cynaropicrin, a sesquiterpene lactone found in artichoke (Cynara scolymus), has anti-hepatitis C and trypanosome activity and inhibits NF-κB activation. Cynaropicrin disrupts microtubulin- and c-Myc-related signaling and induces parthanatos-type cell death in multiple myeloma.

Micheliolide(MCL) is a sesquiterpene lactone which inhibits various inflammatory response.

Transilin, a sesquiterpene lactone, can be isolated from the entire Lepisorus contortus (Christ) Ching plant [1].

Deacetyleupaserrin is an antileukemic sesquiterpene lactone.

Bigelovin is a selective retinoid X receptor α agonist. Bigelovin suppresses tumor growth through inducing apoptosis and autophagy via the inhibition of mTOR pathway regulated by ROS generation.It is also known as a potent cytotoxic sesquiterpene lactone from Inula sp.

Brevilin A is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Centipeda minima, inhibits janus kinase activity and blocks STAT3 signaling in cancer cells with anti-tumor activity. Brevilin A is a selective inhibitor of JAK-STAT signal pathway by attenuating the JAKs activity and blocking STAT3 signaling (IC50 = 10.6 μM) in Cancer Cells.Brevilin A induces apoptosis and autophagy via mitochondrial pathway and PI3K AKT mTOR inactivation in colon adenocarcinoma cell CT26.antitumour
