About Gossypol, Definitions of Gossypol
- An anticancer drug extracted from the cotton plant
- Gossypol is a polyphenol C30H30O8derived from the cottonseed plant (genus Gossypium, family Malvaceae)used as a male oral contraceptive in China. Its efficacy is comparable to the female birth control pill.
- A pigment normally found in cotton which gives this crop some resistance to insects
- Gossypol is a naturally occurring, highly colored yellow pigment found in the pigment glands of cotton plants. Initially, gossypol was perceived as an unwanted component of cotton meal and oil processing. It was not until its anti-tumor and male infertility activity was discovered that it was considered a value-added natural product possessing useful properties. These serendipitous discoveries created much excitement, and an enormous amount of research on gossypol has ensued. Since then the main focus of gossypol research has been to prepare suitable gossypol derivatives for medicinal applications.
