Description

Alpha-Naphthoflavone is an orally active flavonoid that is a potent, competitive inhibitor of aromatase< b>aromatase. < b > IC < sub > 50 < / sub > < / b > and < b > K < sub > I < / sub > < / b > value were 0.5 and 0.2 microns. Alpha-Naphthoflavone can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis[1][2][3][4].

Aromatase

 

In Vitro

Alpha-Naphthoflavone (0.01-100 μM, 5 min) induces vascular relaxation by inducing extracellular calcium inflow and NO formation[2].
Alpha-Naphthoflavone (0.01-100 μM, 48 h) can inhibit HeLa cell proliferation, block the G1/S phase, and increase p53 level and apoptosis[3].
Alpha-Naphthoflavone (5, 10, 20, 40 μM, 24 h) can protect HepG2 hepatocytes treated with oleic acid (OA)[4].

Cell Proliferation Assay[3]

Cell Line: HeLa
Concentration: 0.01, 1, 10, 100 μM
Incubation Time: 6 days
Result: Decreased cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 value of 36.81 μM.

Apoptosis Analysis[3]

Cell Line: HeLa
Concentration: 50 μM
Incubation Time: 12, 24, 36 h
Result: Induced a mild but significant apoptosis rate.

Western Blot Analysis[3]

Cell Line: HeLa
Concentration: 50 μM
Incubation Time: 12, 24, 36 h
Result: Increased the level of p53 at 12 h.
In Vivo

Alpha-Naphthoflavone (80, 160 mg/kg/day, gavage for 4 weeks) has protective effects on NAFLD mice induced by high-fat diet (HFD)[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: HFD-induced mice model[4]
Dosage: 80, 160 mg/kg
Administration: i.g.
Result: Decreased the levels of AST, TG and TC.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
