Ginkgetin is a biflavonoid that has been isolated from G. biloba and has diverse biological activities, including pro-apoptotic, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerosis, and neuroprotective properties.{36713,36714,36715,36716} It inhibits the proliferation of OVCAR-3 ovarian and HeLa cervical cancer cells (EC50s = 3 and 5.2 μg/ml, respectively) and induces apoptosis and caspase-3 cleavage in OVCAR-3 cells when used at a concentration of 3 μg/ml.{36713} Topical ginkgetin (20 μg/ear) reduces ear edema and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; Item No. 14010) levels in a mouse model of chronic skin inflammation induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; Item No. 10008014).{36714} It decreases the thickness of the intima-media and lipid plaque deposition in the thoracic aorta in a rat model of high-fat diet-induced atherosclerosis when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg.{36715} Ginkgetin (0.8 mg/kg per day) improves sensorimotor coordination and increases the time spent on a rotating bar in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease induced by MPTP.{36716}

Description

A biflavonoid; inhibits the proliferation of OVCAR-3 ovarian and HeLa cervical cancer cells (EC50s = 3 and 5.2 μg/ml, respectively); induces apoptosis and caspase-3 cleavage in OVCAR-3 cells at 3 μg/ml; reduces ear edema and PGE2 levels in a mouse model of PMA-induced chronic skin inflammation at 20 μg/ear applied topically; decreases the thickness of the intima-media and lipid plaque deposition in the thoracic aorta in a rat model of high-fat diet-induced atherosclerosis at 100 mg/kg; improves sensorimotor coordination and increases the time spent on a rotating bar in a mouse model of MPTP-induced Parkinson’s disease at 0.8 mg/kg per day
