4′-Bromoflavone  (Synonyms: 4-溴黄酮)

4′-Bromoflavone, a cancer chemopreventive agent, is a potent phase II detoxification enzymes inducer^[1].

4′-Bromoflavone significantly induces quinone reductase (QR) activity in cultured murine hepatoma 1c1c7 cells (concentration to double activity: 10 nM) and effectively induces the α- and mu-isoforms of glutathione S-transferase in cultured H4IIE rat hepatoma cells with no observed toxicity^[1].
4′-Bromoflavone is a potent inhibitor of cytochrome P4501A1-mediated ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity, with an IC₅₀ of 0.86 μM. In HepG2 or MCF-7 cells, 4′-Bromoflavone significantly reduces the covalent binding of metabolically activated benzo[a]pyrene to cellular DNA^[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In short-term dietary studies, 4′-Bromoflavone is also shown to increase QR activity and glutathione levels in rat liver, mammary gland, colon, stomach, and lung in a dose-dependent manner. In studies conducted with female Sprague Dawley rats ,4′-Bromoflavone significantly increases QR activity (phase II enzyme)^[1].
