  Swertisin is a flavonoid compound that appears as a light yellow powder or crystalline powder at room temperature. Its chemical formula is C22H22O10, with a molecular weight of 446. it is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide. It has antioxidant,anti-diabetic, anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-radiation pharmacological effects. |  [Uses]
  food and beverages |  [Definition]
  ChEBI: Swertisin is a flavone C-glycoside that is 7-O-methylapigenin in which the hydrogen at position 6 has been replaced by a beta-D-glucosyl residue. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist, an anti-inflammatory agent, an antioxidant and a hypoglycemic agent. It is a flavone C-glycoside, a monosaccharide derivative, a polyphenol, a monomethoxyflavone and a dihydroxyflavone. It is functionally related to an apigenin. |  [Biological Activity]
  Swertisin is a flavonoid C-glycoside that has been found in Swertia japonica and has diverse biological activities. It inhibits sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in HEK293 cells when used at a concentration of 7.5 μg/ml and is an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist (IC50 = 137 μM). Swertisin (0.2-5 μM) inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication in HepG2 2.2.15 cells. It decreases blood glucose levels in a mouse model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (Item No. 13104), as well as prevents scopolamine-induced increases in escape latency in the Morris water maze in mice. |  [in vivo]
 
 Swertisin (30 mg/kg, orally, single dose) helps improve symptoms of schizophrenia in mice, including sensory motor gating disruptions and cognitive impairments[1]. 
Swertisin (2.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, once daily, days) reduces the expression of SGLT2 in mouse kidney tissue and can quickly lower blood sugar[2]. 
Swertisin (0-10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, every other day, 20 days) significantly inhibits HBV replication in a HBV transgenic mouse model[3]. | Animal Model: | Mice induced by MK801 (HY-15084B)[1] |  | Dosage: | 30 mg/kg; single dose |  | Administration: | Oral gavage (p.o.) |  | Result: | Alleviated the pre-pulse inhibition defect, reversed memory recognition impairment, and the elevated phosphorylation levels of Akt and GSK-3β signaling molecules in the prefrontal cortex restore normal function. |  
 | Animal Model: | BALB/c mice induced by STZ (HY-13753)[2] |  | Dosage: | 2.5 mg/kg; daily; 15 days |  | Administration: | Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) |  | Result: | Improved overall glucose homeostasis, reduced SGLT2 expression in renal tissue, reduced PKC expression, and had a rapid hypoglycemic effect. |  
 | Animal Model: | HBV transgenic mice[3] |  | Dosage: | 0, 5, 10 mg/kg; every other day; 20 days |  | Administration: | Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) |  | Result: | Showed that there was no significant weight loss, no significant changes in serum ALT and AST levels, and reduced serum HBsAg and HBeAg levels. |
