Product Description
Flavonoid. Major active constituent of silymarin. Anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective and anti-cancer compound. Shows chemopreventive effect against skin cancer. Inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Inhibits P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-mediated cellular efflux. Inhibits cytochrome P450 enzymes. Apoptosis inducer. Blocks the production of superoxide in Kupffer cells (EC50=100µM). Antioxidant. Free radical scavenger.
