Costunolide synthase (EC 1.14.13.120) is an enzyme with systematic name germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-12-oate,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6alpha-hydroxylating). [1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

germacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-12-oate + NADPH + H+ + O2 (+)-costunolide + NADP+ + 2 H2O

Costunolide synthase is a heme-thiolate protein (P-450).

Absinthin is a naturally produced triterpene lactone from the plant Artemisia absinthium (Wormwood). It constitutes one of the most bitter chemical agents responsible for absinthe's distinct taste. The compound shows biological activity and has shown promise as an anti-inflammatory agent, and should not to be confused with thujone, a neurotoxin also found in Artemisia absinthium.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Discovery and development of gastrointestinal lipase inhibitors</span>

Lipase inhibitors belong to a drug class that is used as an antiobesity agent. Their mode of action is to inhibit gastric and pancreatic lipases, enzymes that play an important role in the digestion of dietary fat. Lipase inhibitors are classified in the ATC-classification system as A08AB . Numerous compounds have been either isolated from nature, semi-synthesized, or fully synthesized and then screened for their lipase inhibitory activity but the only lipase inhibitor on the market is orlistat . Lipase inhibitors have also shown anticancer activity, by inhibiting fatty acid synthase.
