3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone (1-20 µM, 30 min) inhibits H₂O₂-induced apoptotic features of SH-SY5Y cells, reverses induced nuclear necrosis, and condenses cell shrinkage^[4].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone (0.5-20 µM, 30 min) inhibits H₂O₂-induced ROS accumulation, SOD, CAT, and GSH reduction, and activation of F-κB p65 translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus in SH-SY5Y cells^[4].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone (1-20 µM, 30 min) inhibits H₂O₂-induced phosphorylation of JNK, p38, ERK 1/2 MAPKs and PI3K/Akt levels, upregulation of Bax, caspase-3, caspase-9 and PARP levels, downregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL levels, release of cytochrome c and loss of MMP in SH-SY5Y cells^[4].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone shows antibacterial activity against 12 Gram-negative bacteria E. coli, E. aerogenes, K. pneumonia, with MIC values ranging from 4 to 256 μg/mL^[5].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone improves the activity of Tetracycline (HY-A0107) and Erythromycin (HY-B0220) on 80% of the tested bacteria, with FIC values ranging from 0.5 to < 0.062^[5].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone (0.1-100 μM) has no effect at 0.1–30 µM, but decreases cell viability at 100 µM for MG6 cells^[6].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone (0.1-10 μM, 6-48 h) reduces NO, TNF-α, and iNOS levels, inhibits STAT1 phosphorylation and total STAT1 expression in LPS (HY-D1056)-induced MG6 cells^[6].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone (0.1-10 μM, 0.5 h) inhibits JNK phosphorylation but not p38 or ERK phosphorylation in LPS-induced MG6 cells^[6].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone (0.1-10 μM, 24-48 h) inhibits NO release, iNOS expression, STAT1 phosphorylation in IFN-γ-induced MG6 cells^[6].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone (0-5 μg/mL, 1-7 days) inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorption in BMMs^[7].
3′,4′,7-Trihydroxyflavone (5 μg/mL, 7 days) suppresses RANKL-induced NFATc1 expression via Blimp-1 and p38 MAPK pathway in BMMs^[7].
