Description |
Herbacetin is a natural flavonoid from flaxseed, exerts various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects[1]. Herbacetin is an Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) allosteric inhibitor, directly binds to Asp44, Asp243, and Glu384 on ODC. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the first step of polyamine biosynthesis[2].

In Vivo |
Herbacetin (orally administration; 20mg/kg) significantly reduces the body weight, plasma glucose, plasma insulin, and HOMA-IR activity in obesity associated insulin resistant mice (OIR). (Herbacetin dissolves in 0.5% DMSO)[1]. Herbacetin (intraperitoneal injection; 0.4, 2, 10 or 20 mg/kg; B.W.) decreases the number and size of polyps in APCMin+ mice with no overt toxicity[2].
