Sesamin is a lignan isolated from the bark of Fagara plants and from sesame oil. It has been used as a dietary fat-reduction supplement. Its major metabolite is enterolactone, which has an elimination half life of less than 6 hours. [1] Sesamin and sesamolin are minor components of sesame oil, [2] on average comprising only 0.14% of the oil by ...

Sesamin is a lignan compound found in sesame seeds and oil. It has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its ability to lower cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and improve liver function. Sesamin has also been shown to have antioxidant properties, which may help protect against oxidative stress and damage to cells.

(+)-sesamin is a lignan that consists of tetrahydro-1H,3H-furo[3,4-c]furan substituted by 1,3-benzodioxole groups at positions 1 and 4 (the 1S,3aR,4S,6aR stereoisomer). Isolated from Cinnamomum camphora, it exhibits cytotoxic activity. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, a neuroprotective agent and a plant metabolite.

Sesamin, a major lignin isolated from sesame (Sesamum indicum) seeds and sesame oil, is known to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Several studies have revealed that oxidative stress and inflammation play a major role in a …

Feb 14, 2023 · Sesamin, a compound in sesame seeds, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that may protect your cartilage (50, 51).

Major lignans of sesame sesamin and sesamolin are benzodioxol--substituted furofurans. Sesamol, sesaminol, its epimers, and episesamin are transformation products found in processed products. Synthetic routes to all lignans are known but only sesamol is synthesized industrially.

Sesamin, the main lignin constituent of sesame, plays a pivotal role in regulating physical state. Some studies have evidenced that the supplementation of sesamin may decrease cardiovascular disease risk. The goal of this systematic review was to ...
