Dihydrosesamin is a natural product of Chamaecyparis, Cupressaceae.

Dihydrosesamin is a lignan derivative, which is a type of compound belonging to a group of polyphenols. It is sourced from sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum), renowned for their rich lignan content, including sesamin and sesamolin, which are precursors to Dihydrosesamin. This compound acts through its potent antioxidant activity, scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. These properties potentially enhance cellular resilience and protect against various forms of oxidative damage. Dihydrosesamin's applications are being explored in several scientific fields. It holds promise in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals due to its potential health benefits, including heart health support, anti-inflammatory effects, and liver protection. Researchers are investigating its bioavailability and metabolic pathways to understand its efficacy better and optimize its use in novel therapeutic formulations. Its study contributes to the broader understanding of lignans and their role in human health, emphasizing the significance of natural compounds in the development of advanced therapeutic strategies.
