 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  [Chemical Properties]
  Yellow crystalline powder, soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO and other organic solvents, extracted from lychee grass, the whole herb of ragweed and snow lotus of the Asteraceae family. |  [Uses]
 
 Hispidulin has been used as a calibration standard: 
 - in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for quantification of Clerodendrum petasites flavonoids
 - in liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) analysis 
 - in reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode-array detector (HPLC-DAD) and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC)
 
 
   |  [Definition]
  ChEBI: A monomethoxyflavone that is scutellarein methylated at position 6. |  [General Description]
 
 This substance is a primary reference substance with assigned absolute purity (considering chromatographic purity, water, residual solvents, inorganic impurities). The exact value can be found on the certificate. Produced by PhytoLab GmbH & Co. KG  |  [Biological Activity]
  Partial  positive  allosteric  modulator  at  the  benzodiazepine  receptor  (IC  50 =  1.3 μ  M  for  inhibition  of  flumazenil  binding);  natural  sage  flavone.  Stimulates  GABA-induced  chloride  currents  in  Xenopus  oocytes  expressing α  1 α  2-, α  3-, α  5-  or α  6-  β  2 γ  2S  GABA  A receptors.  Brain  penetrant;  oral  administration  reduces  seizures  in  a  gerbil  model  of  epilepsy.  Also  has  antifungal,  antiproliferative,  antioxidant  and  antithrombotic  properties. |  [Biochem/physiol Actions]
  Hispidulin is a bioactive flavonoid with a variety of effects including antiproliferative, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and antiepileptic activity.  Like EGCG, hispidulin appears to activate AMPK and inhibit the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.  The antiepileptic activity may be due to additional activity as a benzodiazepine (BZD) receptor ligand. |
