- Name
- Echinacoside
- Accession Number
- DB15488
- Description
Echinacoside is a phenylethanoid glycoside isolated from Echinacea angustifolia in 1950, and currently being investigated for the treatment of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, acute colitis, wound treatment, and hepatitis.1 Echinacoside has demonstrated inhibition of apoptosis in neural cell lines, demonstrating potential for use in the treatment of neurological conditions.2

- Metabolism
The metabolism of echinacoside has been investigated in rats and is thought to involve catechol O-methyltransferase as well as unspecified UDP-gluc- uronosyltransferases and sulfotransferases.3 A study of echinacoside's metabolism by human intestinal flora identified 13 metabolites which are produced independantly of human metabolism.4
