Pectolinarin is a flavone glycoside originally isolated from L. vulgaris that has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4,5,6 It inhibits hydrogen peroxide-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and apoptosis in SK-N-SH cells.2 Pectolinarin (10-20 mg/kg, p.o.) reduces hepatic damage and lipid peroxidation and increases the activity of hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) in a rat model of liver injury induced by D-galactosamine (Item No. 22981).3 It reduces ear edema induced by arachidonic acid (Item Nos. 90010 | 90010.1 | 10006607) in mice and inhibits the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction in rats.4 Pectolinarin reduces proliferation in a variety of cancer cells (IC50s = 5.03-14.12 µM) but not MRC-5 fibroblasts (IC50s = >80 µM).5 It also increases complement hemolytic activity in an H22 hepatoma mouse allograft model and increases lymphocyte proliferation and spleen and thymus weights while reducing tumor weight in H22 and Sarcoma 180 mouse allograft models at 50 mg/kg.6
