General description

Afzelin is a natural product derived from a plant source. Ficus palmata and Nymphaea odoratam are the major sources of afzelin, a flavonol glycoside.

Application

DNA-protective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, UV-absorbing and anti-bacterial activities. Afzelin has been used in HPLC (high performance liquid chromomatography) analysis of Comarum palustre L. extract to detect its major compounds.
DNA-protective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, UV-absorbing activity, anti-bacterial activities.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NOS inhibitor, NADPH oxidase inhibitor, Afzelin is known to possess antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and anti-tumor activities. Afzelin might serve as an effective treatment against P. aeruginosa related diseases. Afzelin also promotes apoptosis to inhibit cell proliferation in breast cancer. It exhibits anti-asthmatic effects in a mouse model.
iNOS inhibitor, NADPH oxidase inhibitor
