2'-Hydroxy-4'-methoxyacetophenone

Paeonol , the main active compound of the traditionally used Chinese herb Paeonia lactiflora Pallas, has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and cardiovascular protective activities;Paeonol inhibits U937 monocyte adhesion to HUVECs stimulated by TNF-α, the inhibitory effect of paeonol on ICAM-1 production may be mediated by inhibiting p38, ERK and NF-κB signaling pathways, which are involved in TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 production, thus, paeonol may be beneficial in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis.

Paeonol (Peonol) is an active extraction from Paeonia suffruticosa. Paeonol inhibits MAO-A and MAO-B with IC50 of 54.6 μM and 42.5 μM, respectively.

2-Hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone is a compound that has been shown to have a minimal toxicity profile and a wide range of pharmacological activities. It inhibits the activity of NF-κB, which is an inflammatory signaling protein, and also has antioxidant properties. 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone has been shown to reduce the severity of cardiovascular disease by inhibiting oxidative injury in the mitochondria and reducing oxidative stress. This drug also reduces atherosclerotic lesions and prevents hypoglycemia by increasing glucose uptake in tissues. Moreover, it can be used to treat leukemia inhibitory factor in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Applications Paeonol acting as a β-Secretase inhibitor an anti-apoptotic agent is used in the treatment of memory loss after ischemic stroke. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic. References Hsieh, C., et al.: J. Ethnopharmacol., 106, 208 (2006); Chou, T., et al.: Brit. J. Pharmacol., 139, 1146 (2003);
