Notes: A synthetic flavonoid; scavenges DPPH radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 25.54 µg/ml); decreases androgen receptor levels in 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells at 20 µM and inhibits the proliferation of the same cells (IC50 = 30.5 µM); inhibits acetic acid-induced writhing and decreases immobility time in the forced swim test in mice at 10 mg/kg; reduces restraint stress-induced increases in adrenal gland weight, blood glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels, and brain TBARS and increases restraint stress-induced decreases in spleen and brain weight and brain catalase and SOD levels in mice at 10 mg/kg
