Comment: Sclareol is a diterpenoid compound that was initally isolated from the sage plant Salvia sclarea. It has proposed anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and pro-apoptotic/anti-proliferative bioactivities [2], but its molecular mechanism(s) and molecular target(s) are still to be fully established.
An X-ray structure of sclareol in complex with the human pregnane X receptor (PXR) has been resolved (RCSB PDB ID 8CF9), and in silico docking simulations have revealed potential interactions with cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 which could contribute towards observed in vivo anti-inflammatory action [1]. |
