Description
A polyphenolic flavonoid with antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities; scavenges singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, as well as superoxide and hydroxide radicals (IC50s = 0.86, 0.45, 21.7, and 32.49 µM, respectively), in cell-free assays; is cytotoxic to, and induces apoptosis in, OVCAR-3 and A2780/CP70 ovarian cancer, but not non-cancerous IOSE 364 ovarian epithelial, cells at 20 and 40 µM; reduces oxazolone-induced ear edema and serum and ear levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-12 in an oxazolone-sensitized mouse model of delayed-type hypersensitivity at 50 mg/kg,,
