Phytochemical Name : Scutellarein

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-1182
Phytochemical name or plant extracts Scutellarein
PMID 29097115
Literature evidence The present study aimed to characterize the metabolism and further antiproliferative activity of the hydroxylated flavonoids apigenin, luteolin, scutellarein, kaempferol and quercetin in CYP1 recombinant enzymes and in the CYP1 expressing cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-468, respectively.
IUPAC name 5,6,7-trihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)chromen-4-one
Phytochemicals’ class or type of plant extracts Flavonoid
Source of phytochemicals or plant Extracts Erigeron breviscapus
Geographical availability China South-Central, China Southeast, Tibet
Plant parts NA
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein CYP1A1, CYP1B1
Gene or Protein evidence The present study aimed to characterize the metabolism and further antiproliferative activity of the hydroxylated flavonoids apigenin, luteolin, scutellarein, kaempferol and quercetin in CYP1 recombinant enzymes and in the CYP1 expressing cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-468, respectively. Taken collectively, the data demonstrate that the metabolism of hydroxylated flavonoids by cytochrome P450 CYP1 enzymes, notably CYP1A1 and CYP1B1, can enhance their antiproliferative activity in breast cancer cells.
Target pathways NA
IC50 NA
Potency Taken collectively, the data demonstrate that the metabolism of hydroxylated flavonoids by cytochrome P450 CYP1 enzymes, notably CYP1A1 and CYP1B1, can enhance their antiproliferative activity in breast cancer cells.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-468, MCF-7, MCF10A
Additional information  Scutellarein was suggested as a renal protective agent against ischemia-induced damage in AKI. The protective properties of scutellarein may be through inhibition of COX-2.
