Natural flavone; anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, anti-fungal activities
The primary targets of 4′-Hydroxywogonin include inflammatory signaling pathways, oxidative stress pathways, and cancer-related targets. It has been shown to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways. The compound also exhibits antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes. It induces apoptosis in cancer cells through various mechanisms, including modulation of Bcl-2 family proteins and activation of caspases. |

| ln Vitro |
In LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, 4′-Hydroxywogonin (8-Methoxyapigenin; 0.5-15 μM; 0-24 h) suppresses iNOS and COX-2 expression, which prevents NO and PGE2 production[1]. It also displays low cytotoxicity. -Induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines by LPS in RAW 264.7 macrophages and inhibition of LPS-induced activation of NF-κB are both inhibited by hydroxywogonin (0.5-15 μM; 1 and 12 h)[1]. RAW 264.7 macrophages treated with 4′-hydroxywogonin (0.5–15 μM; 1 h) are less susceptible to LPS-induced IκB–α degradation, TAK and IKK activation, and MAPK and AKTin phosphorylation[1]. In LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, 4′-hydroxywogonin (0.5–15 μM; 24 h) minimizes ROS production[1]. When exposed to concentrations and times that vary, 4′-hydroxywogonin (0–10 μg/mL; 24 h) diminishes the survival of SW620 cells and lowers the expression of VEGF-A (vascular endothelial growth factor–A), the main pro-angiogenic cytokine in tumor angiogenesis, both in mRNA and protein[2]. Apoptosis is induced and the expression of C-MYC, BCL-2, and cleaved caspase 3 is reduced by 4′-hydroxywogonin (24 h; SUP-B15 and Jurkat cells)[3].
In vitro, 4′-Hydroxywogonin demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity by reducing the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in LPS-stimulated macrophages. It exhibits antioxidant effects by reducing ROS levels and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and CAT. In cancer cell lines, it inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The compound has been studied in various cell models, including HepG2, MCF-7, and A549 cells. |
| ln Vivo |
In a mouse model, 4′-hydroxywogonin (10 and 20 mg/kg; ip; male C57BL/6 mice) reduces LPS-induced acute lung damage (ALI)[1].
In vivo activity of 4′-Hydroxywogonin has been reported in animal models of inflammation and cancer. It has shown efficacy in reducing edema in carrageenan-induced paw edema models and inhibiting tumor growth in xenograft models. However, detailed pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data are limited. The compound is primarily studied for its in vitro activities, and further in vivo studies are needed to confirm its therapeutic potential. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for 4′-Hydroxywogonin typically involve evaluating its antioxidant activity via DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays. Anti-inflammatory activity is assessed by measuring cytokine levels in LPS-stimulated macrophages using ELISA. Enzyme inhibition assays may include COX-1, COX-2, and LOX inhibition. The compound is tested at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 µM.
