Biological Context

Irigenin is a polyketide synthase-derived isoflavonoid that has been found in B. chinensis rhizomes and has diverse biological activities.^1,2,3,4 It inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP1A (IC50 = 1.2 µM) and induces a 2-fold increase in NADPH quinone reductase activity in Hepa-1c1c7 cells when used at a concentration of 7.8 µM.² Irigenin inhibits LPS-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), as well as increases in the levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and COX-2, in RAW 264.7 cells.³ In vivo, irigenin (10 and 20 mg/kg) increases survival and reduces cardiac apoptosis, fibrosis, and levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-18, and IL-1β in a mouse model of cardiotoxicity induced by doxorubicin .⁴
