|Section2= |Section3= }} Asarone, which includes alpha (''trans'') and beta〔Beta asarone has CAS# (5273-86-9 )〕 (''cis'') types, is an ether found in certain plants such as acorus and asarum.〔 As a volatile fragrance oil, it is used in killing plant fungal pests and bacteria. The toxicity and carcinogenicity of asarone means that it may be difficult to develop practical anthelmintics and insecticides based on it. == Pharmacology == The main clinical symptom of asarone is prolonged vomiting that sometimes lasted more than 15 hours. Asarone is not metabolized to trimethoxyamphetamine as has been claimed by online vendors. Beta-asarone may be a potential candidate for development as a therapeutic agent to manage cognitive impairment associated with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.〔Geng Y. Li C. Liu J. Xing G. Zhou L. Dong M. Li X. Niu Y.Beta-asarone improves cognitive function by suppressing neuronal apoptosis in the beta-amyloid hippocampus injection rats. ''Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin.'' 33(5):836-43, 2010.〕 The Council of Europe Committee of Experts on Flavouring Substances concluded that β-asarone is clearly carcinogenic and has proposed limits for its concentration in flavorings such as bitters made from ''Acorus calamus'' (Sweet Flag). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「asarone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
