Literature evidence The optimal concentration of DPPH was determined, and six potential antioxidants including 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, quercitrin, astragalin, and quercetin, and three non-antioxidants including benzoic acid, coptisine, and berberine, were successfully screened out and validated by conventional DPPH radical scavenging activity assay.
IUPAC name 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-3-[(2S,3R,4S,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]oxychromen-4-one
Phytochemicals’ class or type of plant extracts Flavonoid
Source of phytochemicals or plant Extracts Tetrastigma hemsleyanum
Geographical availability China South-Central, China Southeast, Taiwan, Tibet
Plant parts Root
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein LSD1
Gene or Protein evidence These findings suggest that natural LSD1 inhibitors, and particularly isoquercitrin, are promising for cancer treatment.
Target pathways Isoquercitrin induced the expression of key proteins in the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis pathway and caused apoptosis in LSD1-overexpressing MDA-MB-231 cells via the inhibition of LSD1.
IC50 NA
Potency These findings suggest that natural LSD1 inhibitors, and particularly isoquercitrin, are promising for cancer treatment.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231
