Description | Apigenin is an antioxidant plant flavonoid with anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, neuroprotective and anticancer properties. It may induce apoptosis and inhibit proliferation of tumor cells by arresting the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. Inhibits tumor angiogenesis through decreasing HIF-1alpha and VEGF expression. Also known to be a MAP kinase inhibitor and a selectively inhibitor of casein kinase 2 (CK2). It is a potent inhibitor of the synthesis of the inflammatory mediators nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2, reducing inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression. Shown to selectively inhibits chymotrypsin-like and trypsin-like proteasome catalytic activity. |
