CAS 1036-49-3: 4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one,2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-7,8-dihydroxy-, (2S)-

Isookanin shows strong diphenyl(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)iminoazanium (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity with the IC50 value of 7.9 ± 0.53 μM.

Isookanin is a naturally occurring flavonoid compound, which is derived from various plant sources, including certain flowers and herbs. Its mode of action involves interacting with cellular pathways to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Isookanin achieves this by modulating the activity of enzymes and signaling molecules involved in inflammatory responses, thereby potentially reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. In scientific applications, isookanin is studied for its potential use in therapeutic interventions targeting inflammatory diseases. Researchers are exploring its efficacy in reducing inflammation-related symptoms and protecting cells from oxidative damage. Further studies investigate its role in broader pharmacological applications, such as cardiovascular health and neuroprotection, due to its ability to influence cellular health and homeostasis.
