Arzanol, a prenylated heterodimeric phloroglucinyl pyrone, inhibits eicosanoid biosynthesis and exhibits anti-inflammatory efficacy in vivo. Biochemical pharmacology, 81(2), 259-268.
    • It has been demonstrated that arzanol may inhibit T cells and interleukins that cause an inflammatory response.  From:  Tira, S., & Modica, G. D. (1967). New β-diketones from Helichrysum italicum G. Don. Tetrahedron Letters, 8(2), 143-148.

    ANTIOXIDANT
