General description
Flavonoids belong to polyphenolic class of compounds. They play crucial role in biological activities which include tumor growth inhibition and chemoprevention. Apigenin is a plant flavonoid mostly used to inhibit ornithine decarboxylase activity and skin tumor.
Apigenin can be found in a wide range of medicinal plants such as Achillea sp., Chamomilla sp., Equisetum sp., Mentha sp., Salix sp., Salvia sp., Silybum sp., Thymus sp., Verbascum sp.

Biochem/physiol Actions
A plant flavonoid that has been found to inhibit cell proliferation by arresting the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. Inhibition of growth through cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis appear to be related to induction of p53. Inhibits PMA-mediated tumor promotion by inhibiting protein kinase C and the resulting suppression of oncogene expression. It has also been reported to inhibit topoisomerase I-catalyzed DNA re-ligation and enhance gap junctional intercellular communication.
Packaging
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
Other Notes
This compound is commonly found in plants of the genus: achillea mentha pimpinella primula salvia silybum thymus
