2020-12-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Carvones, the constituents of essential oils of dill, caraway, and spearmint, were reported to antagonize the human aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR); however, the exact molecular mechanism remains elusive. We show that carvones are non-competitive allosteric antagonists of the AhR that inhibit the induction of AhR target genes in a ligand-selective and cell type-specific manner. Carvones do not d...
