Product Description: Flavipin is an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) agonist that induces the expression of Ahr downstream genes in mouse CD4+ T cells and CD11b+ macrophages. Flavipin inhibits the stabilizing function of Arid5a on Il23a 3′UTR, a newly identified target mRNA[1]. Flavipin exhibits the DPPH free radical scavenging ability with IC50 value of 7.2 μM, and has potent α-glucosidase inhibition with IC50 value of 33.8 μM[2].
Applications: COVID-19-immunoregulation
Formula: C9H8O5
