Biochem/physiol Actions

Cirsiliol is a flavonoid that displays anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-proliferative, and anti-bacterial activities. Cirsiliol sensitizes non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (NSCLC) to radiation therapy. Cirsiliol inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition likely by induction of tumor-suppressive miR-34a, which suppresses Notch-1 expression NSCLC.

Cirsiliol and AA861, specific arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, showed potent antiproliferative effects on human leukemic cell lines K562, Molt4B and HL60. On the other hand, HeLa cells were not affected by these drugs. In the inhibitor treated and growth retarded leukemia

1. In concentrations from 10(-8) M to 3 x 10(-4) M, cirsiliol caused concentration-dependent relaxation of rat isolated ileum. 2. Phentolamine (10(-6) M) or phentolamine and propranolol (10(-6) M) had no significant effects on the concentration-effect curves or on the

Various flavonoids were found to be relatively selective inhibitors of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase which initiates the biosynthesis of leukotrienes with the activity of slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis. Cirsiliol (3',4',5-trihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyflavone) was most potent, and the enzyme partially purified from rat basophilic
S Yamamoto et al.

The 5-lipoxygenases of guinea pig peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes and of rat basophilic leukemia cells have been solubilized, purified partially by affinity chromatography, and shown to convert arachidonic acid principally to 5-hydroperoxy-6,8,11,14- eicosatetraenoic acid. The activity of both 5-lipoxygenases is calcium

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Cell Cycle Research

n proliferating cells, the cell cycle consists of four phases. Gap 1 (G1) is the interval between mitosis and DNA replication that is characterized by cell growth. Replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis (S) phase, which is followed by a second gap phase (G2) during which growth and preparation for cell division occurs. Together, these three stages comprise the interphase phase of the cell cycle. Interphase is followed by the mitotic (M) phase.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Apoptosis

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD), is a selective process for the removal of unnecessary, infected or transformed cells in various biological systems. As it plays a role in the homeostasis of multicellular organisms, apoptosis is tightly regulated through two principal pathways by a number of regulatory and effector molecules.
