| Targets |
Galangin targets multiple cellular pathways and enzymes. As a flavonoid, it modulates various signaling pathways involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell proliferation. It inhibits COX-2 and other inflammatory enzymes. Galangin also activates the Nrf2/ARE antioxidant pathway, enhancing endogenous antioxidant defenses. Its anticancer effects are mediated through induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Its antimicrobial activity is attributed to its ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes.

| ln Vitro |
Thin layer chromatography was used to measure how dose-dependently galangin (Norizalpinin) blocks the downstream activation of DMBA. Moreover, galangin prevents DMBA-DNA adducts and DMBA-induced cell proliferation. As shown by O-determinase activity in intact cells and by isolated microsomes from DMBA-treated cells, galangal produced a strong dose-dependent suppression of CYP1A1 activity. The results of the double reciprocal plot analysis of inhibition kinetics indicate that galangal, as opposed to non-galangin, increased the levels of CYP1A1 mRNA, indicating that it may be an agonist of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. However, it inhibits the induction of CYP1A1 mRNA by -p-dioxin (TCDD) or DMBA. Moreover, galangin prevents the control of reporter vectors carrying the CYP1A1 promoter by TCDD or DMBA [1]. Cells are treated with galangin to induce autophagy (at 130 μM) and labeling (at 370 μM). Specifically, treatment of HepG2 cells with galangin results in a rise in microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 levels, an accumulation of autophagosomes, and an increase in the percentage of cells within the vacuole. Additionally, p53 expression is elevated. While overexpressing p53 in Hep3B cells returns the majority of galangin-induced vacuolated cells to normal levels, p53 inhibition in HepG2 cells alleviates galangin-induced autophagy [2].
In vitro, galangin exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Its antioxidant activity has been demonstrated using standard cell-free assays such as DPPH and ABTS. It reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in various cell types. It inhibits the growth of various bacteria and fungi. Its anticancer effects include induction of apoptosis and inhibition of cell proliferation in various cancer cell lines. These activities have been characterized in various in vitro systems. |
