Ankaflavin

Research use only, not for human use.

Ankaflavin, isolated from Monascus-Fermented red rice, is a PPARγ agonist with anti-inlfammatory activity.

Ankaflavin, isolated from Monascus-Fermented red rice, is a PPARγ agonist with anti-inlfammatory activity. Ankaflavin exhibits selective cytotoxic effect and induces cell death on cancer cells.

Ankaflavin (0-50 μg/mL, 48 h) shows cytotoxicity against cancer cells with no significant toxicity toward normal cells.Ankaflavin (0-30 μg/mL, 0-48 h) arrests Hep G2 cell cycle at sub-G1 phase in a dose- and time-dependent manner.Ankaflavin (25 μg/mL, 48 h) induces Hep G2 cell apoptosis. Cell Cytotoxicity Assay Cell Line:A549, Hep G2, MRC-5 and WI-38 Concentration:1, 10, 25, and 50 μg/mL Incubation Time:48 h Result:Showed cytotoxicity against A549 and Hep G2 cells in a dose-dependent manner with no significant toxicity toward normal cells (MRC-5 and WI-38).Cell Cycle Analysis Cell Line:Hep G2 cells Concentration:15, 20, 25, and 30 μg/mLIncubation Time:12, 24, 36, and 48 hResult:Induced a distinct sub-G1 peak in Hep G2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner.Apoptosis AnalysisCell Line:Hep G2 cells Concentration:25 μg/mL Incubation Time:48 h Result:Exhibited significant chromatin condensation (fluorescent spot) through Hoechst staining.

Ankaflavin (10 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 28 days) shows antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activity, improves liver function and pancreatic function. Animal Model:Wistar rats (4 weeks of age), diabetes was induced by treating them with Methylglyoxal (MG) (600 mg/kg; oral) for 4 weeks Dosage:10 mg/kg Administration:Oral administration for 28 days Result:Exerted PPARγ agonist activity. Effectively reduced AGE (advanced glycation end-products) levels in serum, liver, and pancreas of MG-induced rats.
