Zedoarondiol 

Zedoarondiol, a sesquiterpene lactone compound, with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Zedoarondiol can be used for atherosclerosis research^[1][2].

Zedoarondiol (5-20 μg/mL) attenuates HUVECs injury, up-regulated SOD activity, suppressed formation of MDA and ROS, and secretion and protein expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, and MCP-1 in injured HUVECs induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)^[1].
Zedoarondiol induces nuclear Nrf2 translocation from cytoplasm into nucleus and up-regulated expression of HO-1, NQO1, and Nrf2 in nucleus^[1].
Zedoarondiol suppresses PDGF-BB-induced vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and DNA synthesis, and induces cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. In addition, Zedoarondiol activates AMPK and ACC, inhibited the phosphorylation of mTOR and p70S6K, increases the expression of p53 and p21, and decreases the expression of CDK2 and cyclin E^[1].
