    Product Description

    (±)-6-Prenylnaringenin ((±)-6-PN) is a flavonoid that has been found in the hop plant, H. lupulus, and has diverse biological activities.1,2 It inhibits the T-type voltage-gated calcium (Cav) channel Cav3.2 and high-voltage-activated calcium currents in whole-cell patch-clamp assays using HEK293 cells (IC50s = 0.912 and 4.765 µM, respectively).1 It inhibits proliferation of PC3 and DU145 prostate cancer cells (IC50s = 18.4 and 29.1 µM, respectively).2 (±)-6-PN (20 and 30 mg/kg) reduces mechanical allodynia in a mouse model of neuropathic pain induced by partial sciatic nerve ligation.1
