Pinocembrin (5, 7-dihydroxyflavanone) is a flavanone extracted from the rhizome of Boesenbergia pandurata. Our previous studies demonstrated that pinocembrin had no toxicity or mutagenicity in rats. We here evaluated its effects on the initiation and promotion stages in diethylnitrosamine-induced
Pinocembrin, 5, 7-dihydroxyflavanone, is one of the flavanones found in the rhizomes of Boesenbergia pandurata. Previous study demonstrated that pinocembrin was neither toxic nor mutagenic to male rats. This study evaluated the effects of pinocembrin on phase I and II xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes
The protective effect of panduratin A, isolated from Kaempferia pandurata ROXB. (Zingiberaceae), against tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced cytotoxicity was investigated in a human hepatoma cell line, HepG2. The tetrazolium dye colorimetric test
BACKGROUND
Chalcone Panduratin A (PA) has been known for its antioxidant property, but its merits against oxidative damage in liver cells has yet to be investigated. Hence, the paper aimed at accomplishing this task with normal embryonic cell line WRL-68.
METHODS
PA was isolated from Boesenbergia
