Germacrone 提取自姜黄，具有抗炎、抗雄激素和抗病毒活性。 它还通过促进细胞凋亡来抑制胶质瘤细胞的增殖。

Germacrone, a major active component found in Curcuma zedoaria oil product, shows anti-inflammatory, antiandrogenic, and antivirus activities. It also inhibits the proliferation of glioma cells by promoting apoptosis.

Germacrone can inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cell lines by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through mitochondria-mediated caspase pathway. Germacrone might be a new potent chemopreventive drug candidate for liver cancer via regulating the expression of proteins related to G2/M cell cycle and apoptosis, and p53 and oxidative damage may play important roles in the inhibition of human hepatoma cells growth by germacrone. Germacrone moderately inhibits CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 activities in vitro, with IC50 values below 10 uM, and produces two oxidized metabolites and four glutathione conjugates.

Germacrone shows antiviral activity against the H1N1 and H3N2 influenza A viruses and the influenza B virus in a dose-dependent manner, exerts an effective protection of mice from lethal infection and reduces the virus titres in the lung.
