The Uses of α-Naphthoflavone
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that promotes the expression of phase I and II xenobiotic chemical metabolizing enzyme genes, including the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP1A1 and CYP1A2. α-Naphthoflavone is a flavone that modulates xenobiotic metabolism at several points. It antagonizes AhR, blocking the expression of phase I and II genes at nanomolar concentrations, although it can agonize AhR at higher concentrations (10 μM). α-Naphthoflavone inhibits CYP19 (aromatase), CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1 (IC50s = 500, 60, 6, and 5 nM, respectively), whereas it activates CYP3A4 (Kd = 7.4 μM). Dietary α-naphthoflavone can contribute to carcinogenesis in the presence of synthetic estrogens.[Cayman Chemical]
The Uses of α-Naphthoflavone
α-Naphthylflavone is a flavenoid compound that acts on μ-opioid receptors in the treatment of pain. Also acts as a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor used in breast cancer therapy.
What are the applications of Application
α-Naphthoflavone is an aryl hydrocarbon receptor inhibitor
Definition
ChEBI: An extended flavonoid resulting from the formal fusion of a benzene ring with the h side of flavone. A synthetic compound, it is an inhibitor of aromatase (EC 1.14.14.14).
Purification Methods
Recrystallise the flavone from EtOH or aqueous EtOH. [IR: Cramer & Windel Chem Ber 89 354 1956, UV Pillon & Massicot Bull Soc Chim Fr 26 1954, Smith J Chem Soc 542
