一般描述

Amentoflavone is a naturally occurring polyphenolic biflavonoid found in many plants. Structurally, it has an apigenin dimer which is linked by a C3′-C8′′ covalent bond.

应用

Amentoflavone has been used:
as a chemical inhibitor to determine the selective attenuation of p-Cresol glucuronidation in HepaRG cellsas a reference standard for qualitative and quantitative analyses of phenolic compounds of Juniperus foetidissima Willd. and Juniperus sabina L. using reverse phase- high-performance liquid chromatography- diode array detector (RP-HPLC-DAD)as a reference standard to analyze and standardize the methanol extract process of Juniperus drupacea Labill. phenolic compounds using reverse phase- high-performance liquid chromatography - diode array detector (RP-HPLC-DAD)

生化/生理作用

Amentoflavone has various pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-tumor, anti-senescence, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective activities. Biflavonoid with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and cancer chemopreventive activity. It inhibits vascularization of tumors by blocking the activity of angiogenic VEGFs. Blocks the induction of COX-2 and up-regulates PPAR-γ. It is a negative modulator of the GABAA receptor at the benzodiazepine binding site.
