Английская Википедия:Asarone
Asarone is chemical compound of the phenylpropanoid class found in certain plants such as Acorus and Asarum.[1] There are two isomers, α (or trans) and β (or cis).[2] As a volatile fragrance oil, it is used in killing pests and bacteria.[3]
Pharmacology
The main clinical symptom of asarone is prolonged vomiting that sometimes lasted more than 15 hours. Asarone is not metabolized to trimethoxyamphetamine as has been claimed by online vendors.[4]
The Council of Europe Committee of Experts on Flavouring Substances concluded that β-asarone is clearly carcinogenic[5] and has proposed limits for its concentration in flavorings such as bitters made from Acorus calamus (sweet flag).[6]
β-Asarone exhibits anti-fungal activity by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis in Aspergillus niger.[7] However, the toxicity and carcinogenicity of asarone means that it may be difficult to develop any practical medication based on it.[8]
