Diuvaretin
Diuvaretin is an antimalarial agent and a C-phenylated dihydrochalcone. Diuvaretin can be isolated from the roots of U. acuminata. Diuvaretin increases the activity of Caspase-3 and triggers Apoptosis. Diuvaretin exhibits antiparasitic activity against Plasmodium falciparum. Diuvaretin can be used in the research of promyelocytic leukemia and malaria.

Biological Activity
|
Caspase-3 |
Plasmodium |
Diuvaretin (48 h) potently inhibits the proliferation of promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells, with an IC50 value of 6.1 μM[1].
Diuvaretin (10-20 μM; 24-48 h) induces morphological changes of apoptosis (chromatin condensation and nuclear degradation) in promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells[1].
Diuvaretin (5-20 μM; 6-24 h) induces G1 phase arrest and sub-G1 peak formation in promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells, while 5 μM Diuvaretin has no effect on cell cycle distribution[1].
Diuvaretin inhibits the growth of Plasmodium falciparum with an IC50 of 3.5 mg/mL[2].
