Active constituent of Cnidium monnieri, a traditional Chinese medicine used for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-lipedemic activities. Dramatically decreased lipid accumulation in a quail model. Its neuroprotective effect on MPP(+)-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells supports the use of osthole as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Suppression of fatty acid synthase expression in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells indicates osthole as a promising agent for chemotherapy.
