General description
Butein (2′,3,4,4′-tetrahydroxychalcone) is a chalcone and a flavonoid, that is produced in plants. It is a plant polyphenol and a bioactive constituent, that is extracted from the heartwood of Dalbergia odorifera, Caragana jubata and Rhus verniciflua stokes, and the stem bark of cashews (Semecarpus anacardium).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Butein exhibit several pharmacological activities, such as anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. It stimulates apoptotic cell death of human cervical cancer cells. It has therapeutic potentials for chronic diseases, including liver tuberculosis, obesity, diabetes and hypertension. Butein can repress migration and invasion of bladder, breast and pancreatic cancer cells.
Inhibits EGFR and Src tyrosine kinase activities; inhibits cAMP-dependent PDE-IV. Induces apoptosis in B16 melanoma cells and HL-60 human leukemia cells.

Both 2,3,5-trimethyl-6-(12-hydroxy-5,10-dodecadiynyl)-1,4-benzoquinone (AA861) and 3,4,2',4'-tetrahydroxychalcone inhibited 12-lipoxygenase of mouse epidermis. The IC50 of AA861 and 3,4,2',4'-tetrahydroxychalcone for epidermal 12-lipoxygenase were 1.9 and 0.2 microM, respectively. These agents showed very weak inhibitory actions on epidermal cyclooxygenase, with the potency of inhibition

We investigated the growth inhibitory activity of several flavonoids, including apigenin, luteolin, kaempherol, quercetin, butein, isoliquiritigenin, naringenin, genistein, and daizein against B16 mouse melanoma 4A5 cells. Isoliquiritigenin and butein, belonging to the chalcone group, markedly suppressed the growth of B16
