Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR105
Chemical Name : Thymohydroquinone
Plant Source : Nigella sativa L.
Nutraceutical information : Edible, Black cumin (kalonji)
Mode of administration : Oral, essential oils
Immunomodulatory mechanism : Antioxidant (free radical scavenging,); Anti-Alzheimer (inhibits acetylcholinestrase (ache)); Antibacterial (inhibits Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial growth); Anti-cancer (activates caspase-3/7)
Description : Thymohydroquinone is a major component of plant N. Sativa. THQ is formed when thymoquinone goes under reduction reaction and adds two hydroxyl groups to a benzene ring.
