Allergic Contact Dermatitis From Ragweeds (Ambrosia Species): The Role of Sesquiterpene Lactones

Allergic Contact Dermatitis From Ragweeds (Ambrosia Species): The Role of Sesquiterpene Lactones Abstract Allergic eczematous contact dermatitis caused by ragweeds (Ambrosia), named "ragweed oleoresin contact dermatitis," was found to be due to ten sesquiterpene lactones possessing a methylenegroup attached to the lactone. An additional 14 lactones possessing such a group and derived from ragweeds, are probably allergenic. References 1. Mitchell JC: Allergic contact dermatitis from Compositae .

Abstract

Abstract Allergic eczematous contact dermatitis caused by ragweeds (Ambrosia), named "ragweed oleoresin contact dermatitis," was found to be due to ten sesquiterpene lactones possessing a methylenegroup attached to the lactone. An additional 14 lactones possessing such a group and derived from ragweeds, are probably allergenic. References 1. Mitchell JC: Allergic contact dermatitis from Compositae .
