Biochem/physiol Actions

A plant flavonoid that has been found to inhibit cell proliferation by arresting the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. Inhibition of growth through cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis appear to be related to induction of p53. Inhibits PMA-mediated tumor promotion by inhibiting protein kinase C and the resulting suppression of oncogene expression. It has also been reported to inhibit topoisomerase I-catalyzed DNA re-ligation and enhance gap junctional intercellular communication.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) play a central role in cell cycle control, apoptosis, transcription, and neuronal functions. They are important targets for the design of drugs with antimitotic or antineurodegenerative effects. CDK4 and CDK6 form a subfamily among the CDKs in

The bioassay-guided purification of ether extracts of Alpinia officinarum led to the isolation of two new compounds 6-hydroxy-1,7-diphenyl-4-en-3-heptanone (1) and 6-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-4-methoxy-2-pyrone (4) as well as three known compounds 1,7-diphenyl-4-en-3-heptanone (2), 1,7-diphenyl-5-methoxy-3-heptanone (3), and apigenin (5). Their structures were established on
