Isoegomaketone is a sesquiterpenoid isolated from the essential oil of Perilla frutescens. It exhibits a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-mycobacterial, anti-arthritic, and anti-obesity effects. In immune modulation, it effectively suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. In the field of anti-infection, it has emerged as a potential novel inhibitor against drug-resistant pathogens such as Mycobacterium abscessus.
