Biological Activity

Description Cedrol, a natural occuring sesquiterpene alcohol, is a potent competitive inhibitor of CYP2B6-mediated bupropion hydroxylase with inhibition constant (Ki) value of 0.9 μM. It also inhibits CYP3A4-mediated midazolam hydroxylation with a Ki value of 3.4 μM while only weakly inhibits CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 activities.
Targets
PAF (Platelet-activating factor) [1] CYP2B6 [2]
(Cell-free assay)
CYP3A4 [2]
(Cell-free assay)
0.9 μM(Ki) 3.4 μM(Ki)
In vitro Cedrol is an anti-inflammatory constituent, anti-microbial ingredient and antibiosis agent[1]. Cedrol could accelerate fibroblast growth in a dose-dependent manner and increase the production of type 1 collagen and elastin. Phosphorylation of p42/44 extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and Akt are also markedly increased by the treatment of cedrol, indicating that cedrol stimulates ECM production[3]. Cedrol is a potent competitive inhibitor of CYP2B6-mediated bupropion hydroxylase with inhibition constant (Ki) value of 0.9 μM. It also inhibits CYP3A4-mediated midazolam hydroxylation with a Ki value of 3.4 μM while only weakly inhibits CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 activities[2].
In vivo Cedrol can promote hair reproduction. It promotes hair regeneration and shortens the telogen phase of hair follicles after alopecia occurs. Cedrol may possess a latent ability of preventing damage to initiatory hair follicle and restoring the morphological characteristics of follicles after they have been damaged by chemotherapy. Cedrol is a PAF (platelet-activating factor) antagonist that can reduce or inhibit platelet aggregation, skin inflammation, and vascular disorders[1].
