Biochem/physiol Actions

Cirsiliol is a flavonoid that displays anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-proliferative, and anti-bacterial activities. Cirsiliol sensitizes non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (NSCLC) to radiation therapy. Cirsiliol inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition likely by induction of tumor-suppressive miR-34a, which suppresses Notch-1 expression NSCLC.

Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes. Cirsiliol (3',4',5-trihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyflavone), a selective inhibitor of the enzyme, was derivatized by introducing alkyl groups of various chain lengths at positions 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the A ring

Various flavonoids were found to be relatively selective inhibitors of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase which initiates the biosynthesis of leukotrienes with the activity of slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis. Cirsiliol (3',4',5-trihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyflavone) was most potent, and the enzyme partially purified from rat basophilic

The 5-lipoxygenases of guinea pig peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes and of rat basophilic leukemia cells have been solubilized, purified partially by affinity chromatography, and shown to convert arachidonic acid principally to 5-hydroperoxy-6,8,11,14- eicosatetraenoic acid. The activity of both 5-lipoxygenases is calcium
