Biological Activity

Description Flavone (2-Phenylchromone, 2-Phenyl-4-chromone, 2-Phenyl-4-benzopyron), a class of flavonoids, mainly found in spices and red or purple plant foods with antioxidant, anti-proliferative, anti-tumor, anti-microbial, estrogenic, acetyl cholinesterase, anti-inflammatory activities and are also used in cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders etc.
In vitro
In vitro Flavone is found to reduce cell proliferation in HT-29 cells with an EC50 value of 54.8 ± 1.3 μm and to potently induce differentiation as well as apoptosis. The effects of flavone in HT-29 cells are associated with changed mRNA levels of cell-cycle- and apoptosis-related genes including cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB), and bcl-XL. Moreover, flavone displays a high selectivity for the induction of apoptosis and of growth inhibition only in the transformed colonocytes[1].
Cell Research Cell lines HT-29 Cells
Concentrations 1-1000 μM
Incubation Time 72 h
Method

Cells (5 × 103 per well) are incubated for 72 h with medium alone (control) or containing the compounds at various concentrations and cell numbers are determined subsequently using SYTOX-Green nucleic acid stain.

In Vivo
In vivo In vivo anti-tumor study indicates that flavone exhibits ability to inhibit tumor formation elicited by s.c. injection of COLO205 cells in nude mice. Apoptotic cells and an increase in p21, but not p53, protein are observed in tumor tissues derived from flavone-treated group. Flavone has been shown to accumulate in intestinal cells suggesting the potential application of flavone in treatment of colorectal carcinoma[2].
Animal Research Animal Models Male BALB/c nu/nu mice (Tumor-bearing mice injected COLO205 cells s.c.)
Dosages 10 and 20 mg/kg
Administration i.p.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
