General description
Sesamin is a fat-soluble furfuran lignan present in Sesamum indicum L seeds.
Application
Sesamin has been used:
- as a lignan to study its effects on the osteoblastic differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs)
- as a standard for the isolation of sesamin from sesame oil
- as an enterolignan to study its effects on the proliferation of estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive human breast cancer MCF-7 cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sesamin can lower cholesterol effects in humans. It is involved in preventing high blood pressure and increases vitamin E levels. Sesamin exhibits anti-cancer, anti-proliferative, anti-metastatic and anti-inflammatory properties. It also exhibits pro-apoptotic and pro-autophagocytic properties. Sesamin has its effects on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. It also has effects on hypertension and free radical scavenging.

Sesamin is the major active ingredient is Sesamum indicum seeds. Several studies revealed that sesamin possesses potent anti-cancer properties. The anti-cancer effects of sesamin have been mainly attributed to its anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-metastatic, anti- and pro-angiogenic, and pro-autophagocytic activities.
