Luteoloside is a natural product of the flavonoid class. It acts as an inhibitor of potent influenza RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (IC50 = 32 nM). Also as Luteoloside inhibits H2O2-induced apoptosis, it is cytoprotective against oxidative stress-induced cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, Luteoloside has various other bioactivities such as antifungal, antibacterial, anticancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

ln Vitro |
Cynaroside reduces liver inflammatory damage linked to sepsis and promotes the phenotypic shift of macrophages from pro-inflammatory M1 to anti-inflammatory M2. By preventing PKM2 from translocating to the nucleus, encouraging the formation of PKM2 tetramers, and inhibiting PKM2 phosphorylation at Y105 both in vivo and in vitro, cynaroside decreases the binding of PKM2 to hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). In septic liver, cynaroside prevents the hyperacetylation of HMGB1 due to glycolysis, restores pyruvate kinase activity, and inhibits proteins related to glycolysis such as PFKFB3, HK2, and HIF-1α. By reducing the production of reactive oxygen species and preventing caspase activation in the mitochondrial and death receptor pathways, cynaroside shields H9c2 cells from H2O2-induced apoptosis. By controlling the expression of JNK, P53, and the Bcl-2 protein, cynaroside preserves mitochondrial function[2][3]. |
ln Vivo | Cynaroside (i.p.; 5 mg/kg) inhibits PKM2's binding to hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) by preventing PKM2 from translocating to the nucleus, encouraging the formation of PKM2 tetramers, and preventing PKM2 from being phosphorylated at Y105[2]. |
Cell Assay |
Cell Line: H9c2 cells Concentration: 25, 50, 100 μg/mL Incubation Time: 4 h Result: Protected H9c2 cells from oxidative stress-induced cell injury. |
Animal Protocol |
Animal Model: Mice model of sepsis[2] Dosage: 5mg/kg Administration: Cynaroside (i.p.; 5mg/kg) Result: Inhibited PKM2 dimer formation in liver of septic mice. |

Additional Infomation |
Luteolin 7-O-beta-D-glucoside is a glycosyloxyflavone that is luteolin substituted by a beta-D-glucopyranosyl moiety at position 7 via a glycosidic linkage. It has a role as an antioxidant and a plant metabolite. It is a beta-D-glucoside, a glycosyloxyflavone, a trihydroxyflavone and a monosaccharide derivative. It is functionally related to a luteolin. It is a conjugate acid of a luteolin 7-O-beta-D-glucoside(1-). Cynaroside has been reported in Coreopsis lanceolata, Sonchus fruticosus, and other organisms with data available. See also: Cynara scolymus leaf (part of); Lonicera japonica flower (part of); Chamaemelum nobile flower (part of). |
