Parthenolide is a sesquiterpene lactone of the germacranolide class which occurs naturally in the plant feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), after which it is named, and in the closely related tansy (Tanacetum vulgare).{{cite journal |last1=Onozato |first1=Thelma |last2=Nakamura |first2=Celso Vataru |last3=Garcia Cortez |first3=Diógenes Aparício|last4=Dias Filho |first4=Benedito Prado |last5=Ueda-Nakamura |first5=Tânia |title=Tanacetum vulgare: antiherpes virus activity of crude extract and the purified compound parthenolide |journal=Phytother Res |date=2009 |volume=23 |issue=6 |pages=791–6 |doi=10.1002/ptr.2638 |pmid=19152371 |s2cid=3547899 |doi-access=free }} It is found in highest concentration in the flowers and fruit. Parthenolide's molecular structure depiction is often incorrect regarding the stereochemistry of the epoxide, although X-ray single crystal structures are available.{{Cite journal|last1=Quick|first1=Andrew|last2=Rogers|first2=Donald|date=1976|title=Crystal and molecular structure of parthenolide [4,5-epoxygermacra-1(10),11(13)-dien-12,6-olactone]|url=http://xlink.rsc.org/?DOI=p29760000465|journal=Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 2|language=en|issue=4|pages=465|doi=10.1039/p29760000465|issn=0300-9580}}{{Cite journal|last1=Long|first1=Jing|last2=Ding|first2=Ya-Hui|last3=Wang|first3=Pan-Pan|last4=Zhang|first4=Quan|last5=Chen|first5=Yue|date=2013-10-18|title=Protection-Group-Free Semisyntheses of Parthenolide and Its Cyclopropyl Analogue|url=http://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jo401606q|journal=The Journal of Organic Chemistry|language=en|volume=78|issue=20|pages=10512–10518|doi=10.1021/jo401606q|pmid=24047483|issn=0022-3263}}

Lack of solubility in water and bioavailability limits the potential of parthenolide as a drug.

''In vitro'' research

Parthenolide has a variety of reported in vitro biological activities, including:

  • Inhibition of HDAC1 protein without affecting other class I/II HDACs, which leads to sustained DNA damage response in certain cells (required for apoptosis).{{cite journal | vauthors = Rajendran P, Ho E, Williams DE, Dashwood RH | title = Dietary phytochemicals, HDAC inhibition, and DNA damage/repair defects in cancer cells | journal = Clinical Epigenetics | volume = 3 | issue = 1 | pages = 4 | year = 2011 | pmid = 22247744 | pmc = 3255482 | doi = 10.1186/1868-7083-3-4 | doi-access = free }}
  • Modulation of the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory responses in experimental atherosclerosis.{{cite journal | vauthors = López-Franco O, Hernández-Vargas P, Ortiz-Muñoz G, Sanjuán G, Suzuki Y, Ortega L, Blanco J, Egido J, Gómez-Guerrero C | title = Parthenolide modulates the NF-kappaB-mediated inflammatory responses in experimental atherosclerosis | journal = Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology | volume = 26 | issue = 8 | pages = 1864–70 | date = August 2006 | pmid = 16741149 | doi = 10.1161/01.ATV.0000229659.94020.53 | doi-access = free }}
  • Inducing apoptosis in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells, leaving normal bone marrow cells relatively unscathed. Moreover, the compound may get at the root of the disease because it also kills stem cells that give rise to AML.{{cite journal | vauthors = Guzman ML, Rossi RM, Karnischky L, Li X, Peterson DR, Howard DS, Jordan CT | title = The sesquiterpene lactone parthenolide induces apoptosis of human acute myelogenous leukemia stem and progenitor cells | journal = Blood | volume = 105 | issue = 11 | pages = 4163–9 | date = June 2005 | pmid = 15687234 | pmc = 1895029 | doi = 10.1182/blood-2004-10-4135 }}
