摘要
The present study investigates the suppressive effect of flavonoids on TNF-alpha-stimulated E-selectin expression on HUVECs by carrying out a comparative examination of the 37 flavonoids. Several flavonoids: fisetin, luteolin and apigenin (subclass of flavone), kaempferol and quercetin (flavonols), eriodictyol (flavanones), genistein (isoflavones) and butein (chalcone) exhibit the inhibitory effects. Considerations to the structure of flavonoids, the C2-C3 double bond of C-ring and 4-oxo functional group are essential for their inhibition activities. These results help to explain the pharmacological efficacy of flavonoids as anti-inflammatory compounds. Copyright (C) 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
