Description
Costunolide is a germacranolide sesquiterpene lactone
extracted from costus oil. With alantolactone and
dehydrocostuslactone, it is a component of lactone mix
used to elicit reactions in Compositae-sensitive patients.
An erythema-multiform-like occupational contact
dermatitis case occurred in a chemistry student
after accidental exposure to costus oil (CJ Le Coz & JP
Lepoittevin, unpublished results).

Uses
Costunolide is the oil extracted from Saussurea lappa is used in perfumery and in the Orient for all kinds of diseases. (+)-Costunolide is an inhibitor of osteoclast differentiation, acting as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant agent. It is a sesquiterpene lactone which mediates apoptosis.
