In vitro study | Licochalcone C could inhibit α- glucosidase, with IC50s of <100 nM and 92.43 μM for α- glucosidase and PTP1B, respectively. It is also indicated that Licochalcone C induces T24 cell apoptosis in a concentration‑dependent manner. Licochalcone C treatment reduces the levels of the anti‑apoptotic mRNAs (Bcl-2, Bcl-w and Bcl-XL) and increases expression of the pro-apoptotic mRNAs (Bax and Bim). The Bcl-2 family inhibitor (ABT-737) reduces apoptosis induced by licochalcone C in T24 cells. |
