| ln Vitro |
(-)-Butin protects cells against H2O2-induced apoptosis, oxidative DNA damage, and oxidative mitochondrial dysfunction in vitro. The compound attenuates oxidative stress by activating Nrf2-mediated MnSOD induction via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. It exhibits strong antioxidant, antiplatelet, and anti-inflammatory activities. These in vitro findings support its potential applications in cardiovascular research, oxidative stress research, and anti-inflammatory research.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo studies of (-)-Butin are limited as the compound is primarily used as a research chemical. Its strong antioxidant, antiplatelet, and anti-inflammatory activities suggest potential for in vivo evaluation in models of cardiovascular disease, oxidative stress, and inflammation. However, comprehensive in vivo pharmacological studies specifically targeting (-)-Butin are not well documented. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic properties of (-)-Butin reflect its nature as a flavonoid. It has a molecular weight of 272.25 and the molecular formula C15H12O5. As a flavonoid, it would be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized through standard xenobiotic pathways in the liver. Complete pharmacokinetic profiling including half-life, clearance, volume of distribution, and bioavailability would require further systematic studies using appropriate analytical methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of (-)-Butin has been evaluated in the context of its use as a research chemical. As a naturally occurring flavonoid from Dalbergia odorifera, it is expected to have a favorable safety profile at research concentrations. Proper handling procedures including use of personal protective equipment are recommended when working with pure compound. The compound is not approved for human therapeutic use and is intended for research purposes only. Long-term toxicity studies would be needed to fully establish its safety profile.

| Additional Infomation |
Butin is a trihydroxyflavanone with its three hydroxyl substituents located at the 3', 4', and 7 positions. It is found in black locust (Acacia mearnsii), worm-resistant aster (Vernonia anthelmintica), and rosewood (Dalbergia odorifera), and has a protective effect against oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. It possesses antioxidant, protective, and metabolic functions. Butin is a trihydroxyflavanone, belonging to the 4'-hydroxyflavanone class of compounds. Butin has also been reported to be found in Spatholobus suberectus, Bolusanthus speciosus, and other organisms with relevant data.

*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.
