Sesamol is a natural component of sesame oil with antioxidant activity. Sesamol has potential protective effects against free radicals as well as some antifungal activity. Sesamol can also be used as
an intermediate in the preparation of antidepressants such as Paroxetine (P205750). | [Definition]
ChEBI: Sesamol is a member of benzodioxoles. | [benefits]
Sesamol, 5-hydroxy-1,3-benzodioxole or 3,4-methylene-dioxyphenol, is a water-soluble phenolic lignan isolated from roasted sesame seeds and processed sesame oil. Various studies investigated the anti-cancer therapeutic potential of sesamol, and the literature provided reveals compelling evidence that sesamol acts as a metabolic regulator and possesses antioxidant, anti-mutagenic, anti-hepatotoxic, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and chemopreventive properties.

Sesamol, a principal phytophenol of sesame oil lignans, is typically used as a dietary compound.(10) | [Biological Activity]
Sesamol has a wide range of biological actions including inhibition of lipid peroxidation and enhancement of radical scavenging, upregulation of antioxidant enzymes, suppression of TNFα 80 and IL-1β expression, inhibition of NF-κB 81 signaling, suppression of LOX-1 82 and 5-LOX activity, induction of 83 apoptosis, arresting cell growth at different phases of the cell cycle; and modulation of caspase-3, p53, Bax, and Bcl2 expression[3].
