Bilobalide is a biologically active terpenic trilactone present in Ginkgo biloba.

Chemistry

Bilobalide is a main constituent of the terpenoids found in Ginkgo leaves. It also exists in minor amounts in the roots. It is a sesquiterpenoid, i.e. it has a 15-carbon skeleton. Its exact synthesis pathway from farnesyl pyrophosphate is still unknown.

Pharmacology

Bilobalide is important for producing several of the effects of Gingko biloba extracts, and it has neuroprotective effects,as well as inducing the liver enzymes CYP3A1 and 1A2, which may be partially responsible for interactions between gingko and other herbal medicines or pharmaceutical drugs. Bilobalide has recently been found to be an antagonist at the GABA_A and GABA_A-rho receptors. Of GABA_A, it may possibly be selective for the subunits predominantly implicated in cognitive and memory functioning such as alpha 1.
