Biochem/physiol Actions
Biflavonoid with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and cancer chemopreventive activity. Blocks the induction of COX-2 and up-regulates PPAR-γ. It is a negative modulator of the GABAA receptor at the benzodiazepine binding site.
Biflavonoid with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and cancer chemopreventive activity. It inhibits vascularization of tumors by blocking the activity of angiogenic VEGFs. Blocks the induction of COX-2 and up-regulates PPAR-γ. It is a negative modulator of the GABAA receptor at the benzodiazepine binding site.
Packaging
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
Other Notes
This compound is commonly found in plants of the genus: ginkgo hypericum
Amentoflavone and three other flavonoids were isolated from the ethanol extract of Selaginella sinensis. Amentoflavone showed potent antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with an IC50 of 5.5 microg/ml. The contents of amentoflavone in nine species of Selaginella were
