Description

Triptolide (also known as Tripterygium wilfordii lactone, triptolide alcohol, or tripterygium lactone) is an epoxy diterpene lactone compound extracted from the roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits of Tripterygium wilfordii (family Celastraceae). Together with alkaloids such as tripterygine, triptonine, triptonolide, triptophenolide, triptobenzine, and triptomine, it constitutes the major active components of Tripterygium wilfordii extracts.

Triptolide is poorly soluble in water but readily soluble in methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), anhydrous ethanol, ethyl acetate, and chloroform.
