Phytochemical profile and antioxidant activity of physiological drop of citrus fruits.

J. Food Sci. 78(1) , C37-42, (2013)

The phytochemical content and the antioxidant activity (AA) of physiological drop of the main citrus species grown in China were investigated. Among the flavonoids, hesperidin was found mostly in mandarin and sweet orange, naringin was found mostly in sour or...

Polymethoxylated flavones potentiate the cytolytic activity of NK leukemia cell line KHYG-1 via enhanced expression of granzyme B.

Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 456(3) , 799-803, (2015)

Polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) are found in the peel tissues of some citrus species. Here, we report that PMFs, such as nobiletin, potentiate the cytolytic activity of KHYG-1 natural killer (NK) leukemia cells. Nobiletin markedly enhanced the expression of ...

Tangeretin stimulates glucose uptake via regulation of AMPK signaling pathways in C2C12 myotubes and improves glucose tolerance in high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

Mol. Cell. Endocrinol. 358(1) , 127-34, (2012)

Although the flavonoid tangeretin (5, 6, 7, 8, 4'-pentamethoxyflavone) is known to possess beneficial health effects, the anti-diabetic effects and the mechanism of action have not been elucidated. Treatment with 100 μM tangeretin significantly increased the ...

Suppression of hepatitis B virus x protein-mediated tumorigenic effects by ursolic Acid.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 59(5) , 1713-22, (2011)

This study investigated the potential effects of natural products ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA) against HBx-mediated tumorigenic activities in vitro and in vivo. HBx transactivated Sp-1 and Smad 3/4 in Huh7 and FL83B hepatocytes and induced cell m...

Tangeretin and its metabolite 4'-hydroxytetramethoxyflavone attenuate EGF-stimulated cell cycle progression in hepatocytes; role of inhibition at the level of mTOR/p70S6K.

Br. J. Pharmacol. 162(8) , 1781-91, (2011)

The mechanisms by which the dietary compound tangeretin has anticancer effects may include acting as a prodrug, forming an antiproliferative product in cancer cells. Here we show that tangeretin also inhibits cell cycle progression in hepatocytes and investig...

Fingerprinting alterations of secondary metabolites of tangerine peels during growth by HPLC-DAD and chemometric methods.

Anal. Chim. Acta 649(1) , 43-51, (2009)

Tangerine peels are herbal materials of two coupled traditional Chinese medicines, Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae (PCR) and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride (PCRV). In this paper, high-performance liquid chromatographic fingerprints of tangerine peels duri...

Tangeretin, a citrus flavonoid, inhibits PGDF-BB-induced proliferation and migration of aortic smooth muscle cells by blocking AKT activation

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 673(1-3) , 56-64, (2011)

Tangeretin, a natural polymethoxylated flavone concentrated in the peel of citrus fruits, is known to have antiproliferative, antiinvasive, antimetastatic and antioxidant activities. However, the effect of tangeretin on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is...

Regulation of adipocytokine secretion and adipocyte hypertrophy by polymethoxyflavonoids, nobiletin and tangeretin.

Life Sci. 88(13-14) , 613-8, (2011)

The polymethoxyflavonoids nobiletin and tangeretin possess several important biological properties such as neuroprotective, antimetastatic, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. The present study was undertaken to examine whether nobiletin and tangere...

Identification of active compounds from Aurantii Immatri Pericarpium attenuating brain injury in a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion.

Food Chem. 138(1) , 663-70, (2013)

Ischemic stroke is caused by brain injury due to prolonged ischemia by occlusion of cerebral arteries. In this study, we isolated active compounds from an ethanol extract of Aurantii Immatri Pericarpium (HY5356). We first showed by DNA fragmentation assay tha...

Polymethoxy flavonoids, nobiletin and tangeretin, prevent lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory bone loss in an experimental model for periodontitis.
