What is Parthenolide?
The active ingredients in standardized feverfew extract include parthenolide. So there has been some scientific interest in parthenolide, which has been shown to induce apoptosis in some cancer cell lines in vitro and, potentially, to target cancer stem cells. However, there are no published in vivo studies of parthenolide or feverfew for humans with cancer.
Parthenolide’s role in inducing the antimigraine effects of feverfew has been investigated mostly in vitro. Therefore, antagonism of serotonin receptors and inhibition of neuronal released serotonin have been suggested for the mechanism of action. Moreover, parthenolide also seems to play a role in the blockade of NO cascade and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It might be involved in the pathogenesis of migraine. In conclusion, parthenolide act as a TRPA1 partial agonist, causing selective channel desensitization and a non-selective defunctionalization of CGRP-containing sensory neurons. The release of the sensory neuropeptide CGRP within the trigeminovascular system involved in the genesis of migraine headaches.
