 |  | [Uses] 
 Rhapontigenin is a natural analog of resveratrol with antioxidant and anti-cancer activity. It is a mechanism-based, selective inactivator of cytochrome P450 1A1 (IC50 = 400 nM), an aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase which activates polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that act as procarcinogens. At higher concentrations, rhapontigenin inhibits the proliferation of HepG2 and HL-60R cancer cell lines (IC50 = 48 μM).[Cayman Chemical]
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI:Rhapontigenin is a stilbenoid.
 |  | [in vivo] 
 
 Rhapontigenin (intraperitoneal injection; 25mg/kg) shows significant protection from death due to pulmonary thrombosis in mice, those samples are orally administered 90 min before tail vein injection of epinephrine and collagen[3]. | Animal Model: | ICR mice[3] |  | Dosage: | 25mg/kg |  | Administration: | 25mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection |  | Result: | Showed anti-thrombosis activity with 60% protection. | 
 |  | [IC 50] 
 CYP1A1: 400 nM (IC50)
 |  | [storage] 
 4°C, protect from light
