Bioactivity | Licochalcone D, a flavonoid compound mainly existing in the root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, is a potent and orally active inhibitor of NF-kappaB (NF-κB) p65. Licochalcone D possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer properties[1][2]. |
Invitro | Licochalcone D (10 μM; 1 h) negatively regulates Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (HY-D1056)-induced NF-κB activation by inhibiting the phosphorylation and transactivation of NF-κB p65, inhibits the LPS-induced activation of protein kinase A (PKA), and significantly inhibits the LPS-induced expression of TNFα and MCP-1[1]. Licochalcone D (10 μM; 24 h) significantly inhibits LPS-induced iNOS expression and NO production[1]. Licochalcone D (0-90 μM; 24 h) inhibits the proliferation of human melanoma cells, induces the apoptosis of A375 cells, decreases the mitochondrial membrane potential and increases ROS production in A375 cells[2].Licochalcone D (0-25 μM; 24 h) decreases the migration and invasion ability of the A375 cells, decreased the protein levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9[2].
