Description

euonine: from Trypterygium wilfordii Hook; structure given in first source [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

wilformine : A sesquiterpene alkaloid that has been isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii and exhibits immunosuppressive and insecticidal properties. It was found to be identical with euonine, previously isolated from Euonymous sieboldiana.

Roles (3)

RoleDescription
plant metaboliteAny eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
immunosuppressive agentAn agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-cells or by inhibiting the activation of helper cells. In addition, an immunosuppressive agent is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to diminish the extent and/or voracity of an immune response.
insecticideStrictly, a substance intended to kill members of the class Insecta. In common usage, any substance used for preventing, destroying, repelling or controlling insects.
