The flavones apigenin (4',5,7,-trihydroxyflavone) and luteolin (3',4',5,7,-tetrahydroxyflavone) are plant secondary metabolites with antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and anticancer activities. We evaluated their impact on cell signaling pathways related to insulin-resistance and type 2 diabetes. Apigenin and luteolin were identified in our U-2 OS (human osteosarcoma) cell screening assay for micr...

OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of paeoniflorin and total flavones extracted from Qixue Bingzhi Recipe on proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) cultured in endothelial cell conditioned medium (EC-CM) induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and the expressions of platelet-derived growth factor and its receptor genes. METHODS The VSMCs were cultured in normal cultu...

The reaction of phenols with 7a led to the synthesis of aurones, while the reaction of phenols with 7b led to the synthesis of flavones.

The object of research is emulsions based on low-methoxylated apple pectin for dishes the «Eat Healthy» system in restaurant industry. subject commodity characteristics system. In course study, methods were used to determine sensory and physicochemical analysis. proposed ingredient composition makes it possible form not only high consumer qualities, but also provide target product with function...

Abstract Flow assurance treatment with chemical have become more common as new natural polymers are being develop and viable for inhibiting hydrate formation in production systems due to its eco-friendly economical properties. Using high-pressure micro-differential scanning calorimetry (HP-µDSC), the influence of kinetic inhibition on methane gas from synthetic polymer; polycaprolactam (PVCap) ...

The oxidation of the ferrocenyl group of 2'-hydroxyferrocenyl chalcones activates the beta-position of the unsaturated ketone to nucleophilic attack to yield the first examples of ferrocenyl flavones. These compounds are significantly more cytotoxic than their organic analogs on B16 melanoma cells, with IC(50) values in the low micromolar range.

Dietary flavonols and flavones are subgroups of flavonoids that have been suggested to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The authors prospectively evaluated intakes of flavonols and flavones in relation to risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction and fatal CHD in the Nurses' Health Study. They assessed dietary information from the study's 1990, 1994, and 1998 food frequency quest...
