Butein
Butein is a chalcone that is (E)-chalcone bearing four additional hydroxy substituents at positions 2, 3, 4 and 4. It has a role as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, an antioxidant, an EC 1.1.1.21 (aldehyde reductase) inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent, a geroprotector, a radiosensitizing agent, a hypoglycemic agent and a plant metabolite. It is a member of chalcones and a polyphenol. Butein is a natural product found in Dahlia pinnata, Calanticaria bicolor, and other organisms with data available. Butein is a flavonoid obtained from the seed of Cyclopia subternata. It is a specific protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor that induces apoptosis. (NCI) See also: Semecarpus anacardium juice (part of). A chalcone that is (E)-chalcone bearing four additional hydroxy substituents at positions 2, 3, 4 and 4. C471 - Enzyme Inhibitor > C1404 - Protein Kinase Inhibitor > C1967 - Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Butein, also known as 2,3,4,4-tetrahydroxychalcone, is a member of the class of compounds known as 2-hydroxychalcones. 2-hydroxychalcones are organic compounds containing chalcone skeleton that carries a hydroxyl group at the 2-position. Thus, butein is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Butein is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Butein is a bitter tasting compound found in broad bean, which makes butein a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Butein is a chalcone of the chalconoids. It can be found in Toxicodendron vernicifluum (or formerly Rhus verniciflua), Dahlia, Butea (Butea monosperma) and Coreopsis It has antioxidative, aldose reductase and advanced glycation endproducts inhibitory effects. It is also a sirtuin-activating compound, a chemical compound having an effect on sirtuins, a group of enzymes that use NAD+ to remove acetyl groups from proteins. It turned out that buteins possess a high ability to inhibit aromatase process in the human body, for this reason, the use of these compounds in the treatment of breast cancer on the estrogen ground has been taken into account. The first attempts of sport pro-hormone supplementation with the use of buteins took place in Poland . Butein is a cAMP-specific PDE inhibitor with an IC50 of 10.4 μM for PDE4[1]. Butein is a specific protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor with IC50s of 16 and 65 μM for EGFR and p60c-src in HepG2 cells[2]. Butein sensitizes HeLa cells to Cisplatin through AKT and ERK/p38 MAPK pathways by targeting FoxO3a[3]. Butein is a SIRT1 activator (STAC).

Nevadensin
Nevadensin, also known as pedunculin or 5,7-hydroxy-4,6,8-trimethoxyflavone, is a member of the class of compounds known as 8-o-methylated flavonoids. 8-o-methylated flavonoids are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C8 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, nevadensin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Nevadensin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Nevadensin can be found in peppermint and sweet basil, which makes nevadensin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Nevadensin is a naturally occurring selective inhibitor of human carboxylesterase 1 (hCE1) with an IC50 of 2.64 μM. Nevadensin has a variety of pharmacological effects such as anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis activities, antitussive, anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive[1][2].

Sudachitin
Isolated from Citrus subspecies and peppermint Mentha piperita. Sudachitin is found in peppermint and citrus. Sudachitin is found in citrus. Sudachitin is isolated from Citrus species and peppermint Mentha piperita.
Hymenoxin
Isolated from Mentha piperita (peppermint). Hymenoxin is found in sunflower, peppermint, and herbs and spices. Hymenoxin is found in herbs and spices. Hymenoxin is isolated from Mentha piperita (peppermint).
nepetin
Eupafolin, also known as 6-methoxy 5 or 734-tetrahydroxyflavone, is a member of the class of compounds known as 6-o-methylated flavonoids. 6-o-methylated flavonoids are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C6 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, eupafolin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Eupafolin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Eupafolin can be found in common sage, lemon verbena, rosemary, and sesame, which makes eupafolin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 6-Methoxyluteolin is a natural product found in Eupatorium album, Eupatorium altissimum, and other organisms with data available. See also: Arnica montana Flower (has part). Nepetin (6-Methoxyluteolin) is a natural flavonoid isolated from Eupatorium ballotaefolium HBK with potent anti-inflammatory activities. Nepetin inhibits IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 secretion with IC50 values of 4.43 μM, 3.42 μM and 4.17 μM, respectively in ARPE-19 cells[1][2].
