6, 2′, 4′-trimethoxyflavone is a selective aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) antagonist with no partial agonist activity.
6, 2′, 4′-trimethoxyflavone is a selective aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) antagonist with no partial agonist activity. The role of the transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) in biology is still under evaluation and has expanded beyond that of a xenobiotic sensor and regulator of detoxification. Inhibition of AHR activity by antagonists could result in anti-inflammatory actions. 6, 2′, 4′-trimethoxyflavone (TMF) is a pure AHR antagonist. The compound compete with agonists, such as 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), thus effectively inhibiting AHRmediated transactivation of a heterologous reporter and endogenous targets e.g. CYP1A1. TMF also exhibits no species or promoter dependency with regard to AHR antagonism. Thus it represents an improved tool allowing for more precise dissection of AHR function.
The AHR along with immune functions, is also associated with endocrine processes and cancer development.[1]

We present a generic theoretical model (MICROWEB) that simulates the transfer of microplastics and hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOC) in food webs. We implemented the model for an Arctic case comprised of nine species including Atlantic cod and polar bear as
Short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are under review for inclusion into the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. However, limited information is available on their bioaccumulation and biomagnification in ecosystems, which is hindering evaluation of their ecological and health risks.
