Description
A flavonoid with diverse biological activities; inhibits the growth of HeLa, MK-1, and B16/F10 tumor cells (GI50s = 15, 58, and 44 µM, respectively); active against T. cruzi epimastigotes and trypomastigotes (IC50s = 0.2 and 61.8 µg/ml, respectively); induces vasorelaxation in isolated rat thoracic aortic rings precontracted with phenylephrine (pD2 = 6.66); reduces nuclear translocation of NF-κB and STAT1α in J774 murine macrophages at 10 and 100 µM; reduces paw edema in a mouse model of carrageenan-induced paw inflammation at 50 mg/kg
