Beschreibung

General description

Find answers to frequently asked questions on USP products in USP FAQs.

Flavonoids belong to polyphenolic class of compounds. They play crucial role in biological activities which include tumor growth inhibition and chemoprevention. Apigenin is a plant flavonoid mostly used to inhibit ornithine decarboxylase activity and skin tumor.

Application

Apigenin USP reference standard, intended for use in specified quality tests and assays as specified in the USP compendia. Also, for use with USP monographs such as:

• Powdered Soy Isoflavones Extract
• Soy Isoflavones Capsules
• Soy Isoflavones Tablets

Biochem/physiol Actions

A plant flavonoid that has been found to inhibit cell proliferation by arresting the cell cycle at the G₂/M phase. Inhibition of growth through cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis appear to be related to induction of p53. Inhibitory effects on tumor promotion may also be due to inhibition of kinase activity and the resulting suppression of oncogene expression. It has also been reported to inhibit topoisomerase I catalyzed DNA religation and enhance gap junctional intercellular communication.

A plant flavonoid that has been found to inhibit cell proliferation by arresting the cell cycle at the G₂/M phase. Inhibition of growth through cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis appear to be related to induction of p53. Inhibits PMA-mediated tumor promotion by inhibiting protein kinase C and the resulting suppression of oncogene expression. It has also been reported to inhibit topoisomerase I-catalyzed DNA re-ligation and enhance gap junctional intercellular communication.
