Research Notes

SassafrasWestern

Sassafrasin has been isolated from sassafras root bark and characterized structurally but has received limited pharmacological investigation compared to safrole. Early studies suggest anti-inflammatory activity but the evidence base is minimal. Most research attention has focused on safrole toxicology rather than other constituents.
