Sclareolide (Norambreinolide) is a sesquiterpene lactone natural product derived from various plant sources including Salvia yosgadensis, Salvia sclarea, and cigar tobacco. It is a close analog of Sclareol, a plant antifungal compound.

Sclareolide被用于化妆品香料,尽管无临床证据支持,其最近还是被当作减肥品销售。

Telomerase activity assay: The telomerase activity is measured by the TRAP assay using the TRAPez Telomerase Detection Kit, which includes primers of a 36-bp internal control (IC) for quantifying the amplification of telomerase activity within a linear range close to 2.5 logs. For RNase treatment, 10μL of extract are incubated with 1μg of RNase at 37 °C for 20 minutes. The products of the TRAP assay are resolved by electrophoresis in a nondenaturing12% PAGE in a buffer containing 0.5 × Tris–borate EDTA and detected by autoradiograph. For quantification of TRAP products, the dried gels are exposed to Fuji Imaging Plate at room temperature. Results are corrected for background, and a standard value of 100 is given to the untreated control cell signal. Signal intensities of Costunolide-treated cells are compared to the standard and are expressed as a fraction of the maximum value of 100. [1]
