Luteolin (also known as Digitoflavone; Salifazide; BRN0292084; RN 0292084; Luteolol) is a naturally occuring flavonoid isolated from plants such as Terminalia chebula, which is a non-selective phisphodiesterase PDE inhibitor for PDE1-5 with Ki values of 15.0 μM, 6.4 μM, 13.9 μM, 11.1 μM and 9.5 μM, respectively. Luteolin has antioxidant and pro-oxidant activity, and plants rich in luteolin have been used in Chinese traditional medicine.

ln Vitro |
NCI-H460 cells treated with luteolin (0-160 µM; 24 hours) exhibit concentration-dependent inhibition of cell viability[1]. Treatment with luteolin (20-80 µM; 24-hour; NCI-H460 cells) results in a cell accumulation in the S phase[1]. Apoptosis is induced by luteolin treatment (320–580 µM; 48 hours; NCI-H460 cells)[1]. Treatment with luteolin (20–80 µM; 24 hours; NCI-H460 cells) increases the concentration-dependent levels of protein expression of apoptotic regulatory proteins, such as the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio; however, only 80 µM of luteolin inhibits the expression of Bad. In the NCI-H460 cell line, luteolin also reduces Sirt1 expression in a concentration-dependent manner[1].

ln Vivo |
In adult male Wistar rats fed a high-carb/high-fat diet, luteolin (10–100 mg/kg; oral gavage; daily; for 12 weeks) has an antioxidant effect and can help prevent non-alcoholic steatohepatitis by inhibiting the pro-inflammatory IL-1 and Il-18 pathways[2].
Obtained results showed ability of luteolin to reduce activity of ALT and AST and to decrease levels of bilirubin, hyaluronic acid and malondialdehyde significantly (p < 0.05). Also, luteolin showed an anti-oxidant activity as indicated by the significant (p < 0.05) increase in reduced glutathione. Finally, a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1α and IL-18 levels was observed most notably in groups that received high doses of luteolin (50 and 100 mg/kg)[2]. |
Enzyme Assay |
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a redox-sensitive transcription factor regulating the expression of a battery of cytoprotective genes. Constitutive Nrf2 activation in many tumors enhances cell survival and resistance to anticancer drugs. Using a cell-based ARE-reporter assay we discovered that the flavonoid luteolin is a potent Nrf2 inhibitor. Luteolin inhibited ARE-driven gene expression redox-independently. In non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells, which possess constitutively active Nrf2, luteolin elicited a dramatic reduction in Nrf2 at both the mRNA and the protein levels, leading to decreased Nrf2 binding to AREs, down-regulation of ARE-driven genes, and depletion of reduced glutathione. After transcription was blocked with actinomycin D, 1μM luteolin decreased the Nrf2 mRNA level by 34% in 30 min, indicating its role in accelerating Nrf2 mRNA turnover. At physiological concentrations, luteolin significantly sensitized A549 cells to the anticancer drugs oxaliplatin, bleomycin, and doxorubicin. However, knockdown of Nrf2 using siRNA essentially abolished the induced sensitivity by the flavonoid, implying the importance of inhibiting Nrf2 for its activity. Our study demonstrates that an Nrf2 inhibitor can enhance the responsiveness of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs and indicates the potential application of luteolin as a natural sensitizer in chemotherapy [3].

Additional Infomation |
Luteolin is a tetrahydroxyflavone in which the four hydroxy groups are located at positions 3', 4', 5 and 7. It is thought to play an important role in the human body as an antioxidant, a free radical scavenger, an anti-inflammatory agent and an immune system modulator as well as being active against several cancers. It has a role as an EC 2.3.1.85 (fatty acid synthase) inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent, a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor antagonist, a plant metabolite, a nephroprotective agent, an angiogenesis inhibitor, a c-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor, an anti-inflammatory agent, an apoptosis inducer, a radical scavenger and an immunomodulator. It is a 3'-hydroxyflavonoid and a tetrahydroxyflavone. It is a conjugate acid of a luteolin-7-olate.
Luteolin has been reported in Camellia sinensis, Codonopsis lanceolata, and other organisms with data available. Luteolin is a naturally-occurring flavonoid, with potential anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, apoptosis-inducing and chemopreventive activities. Upon administration, luteolin scavenges free radicals, protects cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage and induces direct cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in tumor cells. This inhibits tumor cell proliferation and suppresses metastasis. Bismite is a mineral with formula of Bi3+2O3 or Bi2O3. The IMA symbol is Bis. 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-flavone, one of the FLAVONES.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 20 mg/mL (69.87 mM) in 50% PEG300 50% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
