Background |
It is a biflavonoid compound with many biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective and other effects. |
Biological Activity |
Amentoflavone (Didemethyl Ginkgetin) is a biflavonoid originally isolated from Selaginella with antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective activities.[1-2] |
In Vitro |
Amentoflavone induces morphological changes and reduces the percentage of viable MCF-7 cells. Amentoflavone induces apoptosis and chromatin condensation,DNA strand breaks in MCF-7 cells. Amentoflavone is also reported to induce cell-cycle arrest at the sub-G1 phase,and apoptosis via mitochondria-emanated intrinsic pathways in SiHa and CaSki human cervical cancer cells[1]. |
In Vivo |
In an animal model,amentoflavone is found to significantly inhibit B16F-10 melanoma-induced solid tumor development in C57BL/6 mice[1]. Amentoflavone can cross the blood-brain barrier. It effectively prevents pilocarpine-induced epilepsy in a mouse kindling model,suppresses NF-kB activation and expression,inhibits excessive discharge of hippocampal neurons resulting in a reduction in epileptic seizures,shortened attack time,and diminished loss and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons[2]. |
Cell Experiment |
Approximately 2×105 MCF-7 cells/well in 24-well plates are treated with 250 μM amentoflavone,or with vehicle(DMSO,0.1% in culture media)-only and all cells are incubated for 6 to 72 h. For the examination of morphological changes,cells are photographed under a phase-contrast microscope.[1] |
Animal Experiment |
Animal Models: Kunming mice;Dosages: 25 mg/kg;Administration: intragastrically administered[2] |
