Pharmacological profile of xanthohumol, a prenylated flavonoid from hops (Humulus lupulus).
The female inflorescences of hops (Humulus lupulus L.), a well-known bittering agent used in the brewing industry, have long been used in traditional medicines. Xanthohumol (XN) is one of the bioactive substances contributing to its medical applications. Among foodstuffs XN is found primarily in beer and its natural occurrence is surveyed. In recent years, XN has received much attention for its...
متن کاملXanthohumol, a Prenylated Flavonoid from Hops (Humulus lupulus), Prevents Platelet Activation in Human Platelets
Xanthohumol is the principal prenylated flavonoid in the hop plant (Humulus lupulus L.). Xanthohumol was found to be a very potent cancer chemopreventive agent through regulation of diverse mechanisms. However, no data are available concerning the effects of xanthohumol on platelet activation. The aim of this paper was to examine the antiplatelet effect of xanthohumol in washed human platelets....
متن کاملXanthohumol, a prenylated flavonoid from hops (Humulus lupulus L.), protects rat tissues against oxidative damage after acute ethanol administration
Ethanol-mediated free radical generation is directly involved in alcoholic liver disease. In addition, chronic alcohol bingeing also induces pathological changes and dysfunction in multi-organs. In the present study, the protective effect of xanthohumol (XN) on ethanol-induced damage was evaluated by determining antioxidative parameters and stress oxidative markers in liver, kidney, lung, heart...
متن کاملAnti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing properties of Xanthohumol, a prenylated chalcone from hops (Humulus lupulus L.)
Xanthohumol (XN)* is a prenylated chalcone found at high concentrations in hop cones (Humulus lupulus L.). XN has been characterized as a promising cancer chemopreventive lead structure that acts via a broad spectrum of bioactivities. This chapter summarizes the anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing potential of XN and gives a detailed overview of underlying mechanisms and pathways targeted...
متن کاملIn vitro biotransformation of xanthohumol, a flavonoid from hops (Humulus lupulus), by rat liver microsomes.
Xanthohumol (XN) is the major prenylated flavonoid of the female inflorescences (cones) of the hop plant (Humulus lupulus). It is also a constituent of beer, the major dietary source of prenylated flavonoids. Recent studies have suggested that XN may have potential cancer-chemopreventive activity, but little is known about its metabolism. We investigated the biotransformation of XN by rat liver...
