Research Excerpts

Overview

Ochnaflavone is a medicinal herbal product isolated from Lonicera japonica. It inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) dependent phases of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) generation.

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Ochnaflavone is a medicinal herbal product isolated from Lonicera japonica that inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) dependent phases of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) generation in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 values of 0.6 microM. "( Naturally occurring biflavonoid, ochnaflavone, inhibits cyclooxygenases-2 and 5-lipoxygenase in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells.
