Apigenin 7-glucoside

The Uses of Apigenin 7-glucoside

Apigenin 7-Glucoside is a by-product during the synthesis of Isorhoifolin (I819700), a naturally occurring flavonoid that was shown to exhibit potential antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant effects.

Definition

ChEBI: A glycosyloxyflavone that is apigenin substituted by a beta-D-glucopyranosyl moiety at position 7 via a glycosidic linkage.

What are the applications of Application

Apigenin 7-glucoside is a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic activities. It inhibits LPS-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells when used at concentrations ranging from 0.16 to 10 μM. In vivo, apigenin 7-glucoside (10 mg/kg) reduces pulmonary edema and lung inflammation in a mouse model of LPS-induced acute lung injury. It also increases the number of entries and the time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze in rats, indicating anxiolytic activity.

Biological Functions

Apigenin 7-glucoside inhibited HL-60 cell growth, dose- and time-dependently, but did not cause apoptosis. The distribution of cells at different stages in the cell cycle indicated an accumulation of treated cells in the G2/M phase. Moreover, apigenin 7-glucoside induced granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells[1].
