| Application: | Phloretin has been used: • to study its effect on the 2-[N-(7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-d • to incubate microvesicles in order to inhibit GLUT1 (glucose transporter 1)-mediated transport in radioactive ligand up-take assay • as a component of KRH buffer to stop glucose uptake by trophoblast cells in vitro |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Blocks L-type Ca2+ channels; activates Ca2+-activated K+ channels in amphibian myelinated nerve fibers. Monocarboxylate transporter inhibitor. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Phloretin is known to decrease interfacial dipole potential of lipid bilayer. Phloretin possess antitumor action by preventing protein kinase C (PKC) activity and stimulating programmed cell death. It is found to inhibit the transport functions of GLUTs (glucose transporter) and aquaporins. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Reacts with vic-dicarbonyl compounds such as glyoxal and methylglyoxal, preventing cytotoxic conjugation with biological macromolecules. |
| General description: | Major polyphenol found in apple; aglycone of phloridzin. |
| General description: | Phloretin a polar dye belongs to the class of dihydrochalcones. |
