Biological Activity

[Description]:

Flazin is a non-enzymatic protein glycation inhibitor, also inhibits peroxynitrite (ONOO-), with an IC50 value of 85.31 μM for bovine serum albumin (BSA) glycation and an EC50 value of 71.99 μM for ONOO-. Flazin can be used for researching diabetes and neuronal disorders. Flazin also can used as a lipid droplet (LD) regulator against lipid disorders, and a xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitor[1][2][3].

[Target]

IC50: 85.31 μM (BSA), 0.51 mM (XOD)[1][2] EC50: 71.99 μM (ONOO-)[1]

[In Vitro]

Flazin significantly decreases cellular triglyceride (TG) by 12.0-22.4% compared with modeling groups and improved the TG and free fatty acid profile[2]. Flazin efficiently reduces both cellular neutral lipid content by 17.4-53.9% and lipid droplets size by 10.0-35.3%[2]. Flazin exhibits xanthine oxidase inhibitory with an IC50 of 0.51 mM[3].
