Physical and Chemical Properties | Character: light yellow crystal extraction Source: antioxidant substances extracted from hops A substance called xanthohumol in hops has attracted more and more attention, this substance belongs to isopentene flavonoid compound (xantho-humol, xn for short), and the research of scientists shows that Xanthohumol has obvious anti-cancer effect. Professor Fang Jianguo, State Key Laboratory of functional organic molecular chemistry, Lanzhou University, found that an active molecule contained in beer called xanthohumol could help the brain fight Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease the violation of neurodegenerative diseases, become the focus and hot spot of the world's major media reports in early 2015. |
In vitro study | In the culture medium of mouse hepatoma cells, Xanthohumol inhibited Cyp1A activity and induced QR activity. Xanthohumol scavenges reactive oxygen species and inhibits superoxide anion groups and nitric oxide production. In addition, Xanthohumol prevents carcinogenesis by inhibiting DNA synthesis and inducing S-phase cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and cell differentiation. Xanthohumol exhibits potent anti-HIV-1 activity. |
In vivo study | In CETP-Tg mice, xanthohumol (p.o.) prevents atherosclerosis resulting from cholesterol accumulation. In TRAMP mice, Xanthohumol (p.o.) induces a decrease in the mean weight of the urogenital (UG) tract, delays advanced tumor progression, and inhibits the growth of poorly differentiated prostate cancer. |

biological activity | xanthahumol, an isopentenylated chalcone from hops that inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 activity, and showed a chemopreventive effect. Xanthochumol can inhibit diacylglycine acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) and DGAT2, corresponding to an IC50 value of 40 μm. Xanthochumol is also a potent anti-Virus agent against a range of DNA and RNA Virus. Xanthochumol can induce growth arrest and apoptosis in tumor cells. Phase 1. |
