Research Excerpts

Overview

Casticin is a natural monomer drug with many biological effects such as anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor actions. It is a polymethylflavone with three rings, an orthocatechol moiety, a double bond, two hydroxyl groups and four methoxyl groups.

Effects

Casticin has been isolated from various tissues of plants in the Vitex genus. It has significant anti-inflammatory effect on acute inflammation, which is probably related to the inhibition of the inflammation factors.
