About Naringenin

 

Naringenin exerts a variety of pharmacological effects such as antioxidant activity, blood lipid lowering, anticancer activity, and inhibition of selected drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes, including CYP3A4 and CYP1A2, which may result in drug-drug interactions in vivo.

 

Naringenin is a kind of natural flavonoid compounds, widely existing in the pomelo of rutaceous plants.

It is mainly coming from the enzymolysis of naringin with the functions of anti-microbial, anti-inflammation, antioxidant, preventing cough and eliminating phlegm, decreasing blood fat, anti-tumor and anti-cancer, spasmolysis, scavenging free radical, preventing and treating liver diseases, anti-platelet clotting, anti-atherosclerotic of arteries etc., widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and healthcare product industry etc.

Naringenin Function:

1. Naringenin has anticancer effect , can kill various cancer cells .

2.Naringenin has protective effect on focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats , and its mechanism may relate with its effective scavenging of free radicals. Naringenin significantly decreased the cerebral water content, reduced the volume of cerebral infarction of the impaired brain hemisphere,lowered the level of MDA and improved the activity of SOD in brain. This shows Naringenin can has protective effect on brain hemisphere .

3. Naringenin can significantly lower the plasma cholesterol concentration and the hepatic cholesterol content .

4. Naringenin has also been shown to reduce hepatitis C virus production by infected hepatocytes (liver cells) in

cell culture . This seem to be secondary to Narigenin ability to inhibit the secretion of very low density lipoprotein by the cells.

5. Naringenin has bioactive effect on human health as antioidant , free radical scavenger , antisepsis , anti-inflammatory , antispasmodic activity .
