Apigenin, 25MG

Apigenin is a flavonoid compound found in many fruits and vegetables that selectively inhibits casein kinase 2 (CK2). Apigenin inhibits CK2 activity in the renal cortex with an IC₅₀ value of 30 µM to improve renal function in a rat model of glomerulonephritis.¹ CK2 inhibition by 20 µM apigenin decreases the degradation of IκBα and down-regulates NF-κB levels in WEHI-231 cells.² Apigenin at 5 µM is a potent inhibitor of the synthesis of the inflammatory mediators nitric oxide and prostaglandin E₂, reducing inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression by 56% and 64%, respectively, in the macrophage cell line J774A.1.³
