Biochem/physiol Actions

Hinokiflavone is a plant biflavone that exhibit potent anticancer, hepatoprotective, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory activities. Hinokiflavone induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, and blocks migration and invasion of melanoma cells. It is a potent inhibitor of dengue 2 virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (DV-NS5 RdRp). Hinokiflavone is a modulator of pre-mRNA splicing in cells. It increases SUMOylation of a subset of spliceosome proteins by inhibiting SENP1 protease activity. It induces apoptosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) through regulation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

In order to find new molecules for antiviral drug design, we screened 102 ethyl acetate extracts from New-Caledonian flora for antiviral activity against the dengue 2 virus RNA-dependant RNA polymerase (DV-NS5 RdRp). The leaf extract of Dacrydium balansae, which strongly

We have identified the plant biflavonoid hinokiflavone as an inhibitor of splicing in vitro and modulator of alternative splicing in cells. Chemical synthesis confirms hinokiflavone is the active molecule. Hinokiflavone inhibits splicing in vitro by blocking spliceosome assembly, preventing formation

Melanoma, the highest degree of malignancy, is one of the most common skin tumors. However, there is no effective strategy to treat melanoma in current clinical practice. Therefore, it is urgent to find an efficient drug to overcome melanoma. Here
