| Application: | Luteolin has been used: • to induce and elucidate the apoptotic pathway in renal cell carcinoma 786-O cells • as an additive in M9 minimal medium to induce nodF gene expression • as a reference standard to qualitatively and quantitatively analyse luteolin using reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (RP-HPLC-DAD) • as a reaction supplement for β-galactosidase assay • to elucidate the anti-inflammatory efficacy of luteolin in pseudorabies virus infected RAW264.7 cell line by measuring the anti-inflammatory mediators production and also cell viability and cytotoxicity assay |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Hydroxylated flavone derivative, a strong antioxidant and radical scavenger. Suggested to play a role in prevention of cancer, possibly via the inhibition of fatty acid synthase activity. |
