Bioactivity | Anthraflavic acid, a flavonoid, is a potent IQ mutagenicity inhibitor by virtue of its ability to inhibit both its microsomal and cytosolic activation pathways. Anthraflavic acid is a potent and specific cytochrome P-448 inhibitor activity an enzyme system closely associated with the activation of many chemical carcinogens[1]. |
