In Vitro Pinocembrin (5, 10, 25, 50, 100 or 200 µM, 24 hours) significantly reduces cell viability of RBL-2H3 cells[1]. Pinocembrin (25 or 50 µM) suppresses iNOS, PGE-2 and COX-2 levels, increases p38-Mapk and IкB-α, and inhibits phosphorylation of IкB-α[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: RBL-2H3 cells Concentration: 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 or 200 µM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Decreased cell viability by ∼50% at ≥ 100 µM. Showed 75% cell viability at lower concentrations.
