Description:
Tectochrysin is a promising inhibitor for the reversal of ABCG2-mediated drug transport, it leads to apoptotic cell death in NSCLC cells through activation of DR3 and Fas expression via inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation.Tectochrysin has antioxidant effect, it also exhibits a significant hepatoprotective activity in hepatic damage induced by CCl4-intoxication in rats.

In vivo anti-oxidant activities of tectochrysin.
The anti-oxidant activities of Tectochrysin, a major compound of propolis, were investigated.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Tectochrysin exhibited a significant decrease in serum transaminase activities elevated by hepatic damage induced by CCl4-intoxication in rats. Tectochrysin tested exhibited a lipid peroxidation causing a significant decrease in MDA production in TBA-reactant assay. Tectochrysin was strong in the increase in the anti-oxidant enzymes such as hepatic cytosolic superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities in CCl4-intoxicated rats.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results suggest that Tectochrysin possess not only the anti-oxidant, but also the activities in CCl4-intoxicated rats. Especially, Tectochrysin was found to cause significant increases in the rat liver cytosolic SOD, catalase, GSH-px activities as well as a significant decrease in the MDA production.
