Isolongifolene ((-)-Isolongifolene) is a tricyclic sesquiterpene isolated from Murraya koenigii. Isolongifolene attenuates Rotenone-induced oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis through the regulation of P13K/AKT/GSK-3β signaling pathways. Isolongifolene has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and neuroprotective properties[1].

Isolongifolene (0-50 μM; 26 hours; SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells) treatment significantly alleviates Rotenone-induced cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].Isolongifolene (10 μM; 26 hours; SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells) treatment attenuates Rotenone-induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells[1].Isolongifolene (10 μM; 26 hours; SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells) treatment attenuates Rotenone induced toxicity by down-regulating Bax, caspases-3, 6, 8 and 9 expression and up-regulating of Bcl-2 expression. Furthermore regulation of p-P13K, p-AKT and p-GSK-3β expression by Isolongifolene[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells
