Description
Cardamonin is a naturally occuring chalcone initially isolated from the seeds of Amomum subulatum and subsequently from other zingiberous plant species. Cardamonin exhibits its antiinflammatory activity via suppression of p65NF-κB nuclear translocation and I-κBɑ phosphorylation. Cardamonin is a novel antagonist of hTRPA1 cation channel with an IC50 of 454 nM.
