Antioxidant flavonoid. Inhibitor of mitochondrial ATPase, cAMP- and cGMP-phosphodiesterases. Inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinases and protein kinase C (PKC). Induces apoptosis. Blocks cells at the G0/G1 interface. Activator of human deacetylase SIRT1. Reversible inhibitor of fatty acid synthase (FAS). Inhibits the production of the inflammatory mediators nitric oxide (NO), TNF-α and IL-12 in activated macrophages.Induces gastric relaxation in mouse stomach, mainly by suppressing Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels.
