| Bioactivity | Fraxin isolated from Cortex Fraxini, is a glucoside of fraxetin and reported to exert potent anti-oxidative stress action[1], anti-inflammatory and antimetastatic properties. Fraxin shows its antioxidative effect through inhibition of cyclo AMP phosphodiesterase enzyme[2]. |
| Invitro | Fraxin (100 μM) is non-cytotoxic on Hep G2 cells. Fraxin at non-cytotoxic concentrations significantly decreases the t-BHP-induced ROS generation in a dose-dependent manner[1].Fraxin (0.5 mM) shows free radical scavenging effect at high concentration and cell protective effect against H2O2-mediated oxidative stress[2]. |
