Application


  • Irigenin flavonoid in metabolic research: Recent studies highlight the potential of irigenin as a PPAR gamma agonist, suggesting its utility in metabolic syndrome research. This research emphasizes the role of irigenin in modulating lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis (Yang et al., 2024).

  • Irigenin as an anti-inflammatory agent: Research on Iris scariosa Willd. ex Link, which contains irigenin, demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory properties, making irigenin a promising compound for studies in inflammation and immune response (Omarova et al., 2024).

  • Irigenin in cancer research: The flavonoid irigenin has been investigated for its efficacy in inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Studies indicate that irigenin can activate pathways related to cell death, presenting a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment (He et al., 2024).

  • Irigenin and estrogen receptor modulation: Exploratory research into the phytochemical constituents of various plants including those with irigenin, points to its role in modulating estrogenic activity, which is crucial for developing treatments targeting hormone-sensitive pathways (Xue et al., 2023).

  • Antioxidant assays with irigenin: Studies involving irigenin have shown its strong antioxidant capabilities, making it an ideal subject for in vitro studies to explore mechanisms of oxidative stress and potential therapeutic applications in oxidative-related diseases (Li et al., 2023).
