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 ). [1] 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. [2] [3]

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:
