Objectives : This study aimed to elucidate antioxidant activity of chrysin in polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly-IC) and lipoteichoic acid-induced RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages. Methods : RAW 264.7 co-stimulated with poly-IC and lipoteichoic acid were incubated with chrysin at concentrations of 25 and 50 µM. Hydrogen peroxide production was measured with dihydrorhodamine 123 assay. Nitric Oxide (NO) production was evaluated by griess reagent assay. Results : For 16 h, 18 h, 20 h, 22 h, and 24 h incubation, chrysin at the concentration of 25 and 50 µM significantly suppressed hydrogen peroxide production in poly-IC and lipoteichoic acid-induced RAW 264.7. In details, production of hydrogen peroxide in 'poly-IC and lipoteichoic acid'-stimulated RAW 264.7 treated for 16 h with chrysin at concentrations of 25 and 50 µM was 83.84% and 79.3% of the control group treated with poly-IC and lipoteichoic acid only, respectively; the production of hydrogen peroxide for 18 h was 84.36% and 79.93%, respectively; production of hydrogen peroxide for 20 h was 85.68% and 80.22%, respectively; production of hydrogen peroxide for 22 h was 85.81% and 79.95%, respectively; production of hydrogen peroxide for 24 h was 86.01% and 80.18%, respectively. Additionally, chrysin at the concentration of 5, 10, 25, and 50 µM significantly inhibited NO production in THP-1 human monocytic cell line. Conclusions : Chrysin might have anti-oxidative activity related to its inhibition of hydrogen peroxide production in 'poly-IC and lipoteichoic acid'-stimulated RAW 264.7.

Chrysin and chlorogenic acid are natural products derived from Scutellariae Radix and Lonicerae Flos, respectively. We examined whether chrysin and chlorogenic acid affect airway mucin production induced by TNF-${\alpha}$ in NCI-H292 cells. Cells were pretreated with each agent for 30 min and then stimulated with TNF-${\alpha}$ for 24 h. Of the two compounds, chrysin suppressed airway MUC5AC mucin production. Also, chrysin suppressed MUC5AC mucin gene expression and translocation of NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 induced by TNF-${\alpha}$. This result suggests that chrysin can regulate the production and gene expression of mucin induced by TNF-${\alpha}$ through the inactivation of NF-${\kappa}B$ in airway epithelial cells.

Chrysin is a 5,7-dihydroxyflavone and was recently shown to potently inhibit enterovirus 71 (EV71) by suppressing viral 3C protease ($3C^{pro}$ activity. In the current study, we investigated whether chrysin also shows antiviral activity against coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), which belongs to the same genus (Enterovirus) as EV71, and assessed its ability to prevent the resulting acute pancreatitis and myocarditis. We found that chrysin showed antiviral activity against CVB3 at $10{\mu}M$, but exhibited mild cellular cytotoxicity at $50{\mu}M$, prompting us to synthesize derivatives of chrysin to increase the antiviral activity and reduce its cytotoxicity. Among four 4-substituted benzyl derivatives derived from C(5) benzyl-protected derivatives 7, 9-11 had significant antiviral activity and showed the most potent activity against CVB3 with low cytotoxicity in Vero cells. Intraperitoneal injection of CVB3 in BALB/c mice with $1{\times}10^6TCID_{50}$ (50% tissue culture infective dose) of CVB3 induced acute pancreatitis with ablation of acinar cells and increased serum CXCL1 levels, whereas the daily administration of 9 for 5 days significantly alleviated the pancreatic inflammation and reduced the elevation in serum CXCL1 levels. Collectively, we assessed the anti-CVB3 activities of chrysin and its derivatives, and found that among 4-substituted benzyl derivatives, 9 exhibited the highest activity against CVB3 in vivo, and protected mice from CVB3-induced pancreatic damage, simultaneously lowering serum CXCL1 levels.

In order to understand the mechanism of action of flavonoids on the drug metabolizing enzyme, cytochrome P450IA1, this study was undertaken to examine the effect of chrysin, morin, myricetin and aminopyrine on the activities of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase and benzo(.alpha.) pyrene hydroxylase in the liver. In the isolated perfused rat liver that was pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC), chrysin, morin, myricetin and aminopyrine inhibited the activity of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase with concentration dependent manner. The isolated liver perfusion with chrysin, morin, myricetin and aminopyrine showed inhibition on the induction of ethoxyresorufin O- deethylase by 3MC. And also, in mouse liver hepa I cells, 3MC-stimulated the benzo(.alpha.)pyrene hydroxylase activity which was inhibited by chrysin, morin, myricetin and aminopyrine. These results strongly suggested that hydoxylated flavonoids interfered not only the induction of cytochrome P45OIA1 enzymes by 3MC but also the interaction of substrates and enzyme.

Background: Polymeric nanoparticles are attractive materials that have been widely used in medicine for drug delivery, with therapeutic applications. In our study, polymeric nanoparticles and the anticancer drug, chrysin, were encapsulated into poly (D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) poly (ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG) nanoparticles for local treatment. Materials and Methods: PLGA: PEG triblock copolymers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of D, L-lactide and glycolide as an initiator. The bulk properties of these copolymers were characterized using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the resulting particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Results: The chrysin encapsulation efficiency achieved for polymeric nanoparticles was 70% control of release kinetics. The cytotoxicity of different concentration of pure chrysin and chrysin loaded in PLGA-PEG ($5-640{\mu}M$) on T47-D breast cancer cell line was analyzed by MTT-assay. Conclusions: There is potential for use of these nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Future work should include in vivo investigation of the targeting capability and effectiveness of these nanoparticles in the treatment of breast cancer.

본 연구 목적은 고지방식이 동물의 간 조직에서 크리신 투여 또는 중강도운동이 Inflammasome과 thermogenesis 유전자 발현의 차이를 규명하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구를 위해 정상식이군, 고지방식이군, 고지방식이+크리신 투여군, 고지방식이+중강도 운동군으로 분류한 후, 크리신 투여군은 16주간 50 mg/kg 농도로 투여하였으며, 운동군은 최대산소섭취량의 60-75%의 중강도 운동으로 실시되었다. 연구결과 크리신 그리고 중강도운동군은 지방조직, 간조직 무게 그리고 지방세포 크기가 고지방식이 군과 비교해 유의하게 감소하였다. Inflammasome 유전자 변화는 크리신 투여군 그리고 중강도 운동군에서 NLRP3. ASC, Casepase1 mRNA 발현이 고지방식이 군과 비교해 유의하게 감소하였다. 열발생마커로 알려진 PGC-1a, BMP7 mRNA 발현은 중강도 운동군에서만 고지방식 이군과 비교해 유의하게 증가했다. 결론적으로 중강도 운동은 고지방식이 동물에서 지방무게, Inflammasome, 그리고 열발생 유전자들의 발현을 비만을 억제하는데 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 보여진다. 하지만 크리신 투여는 열발생 유전자 발현에는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 못하였다. 향후 연구에서는 크리신의 비만억제 효과를 규명하기 위해 투여농도 기간을 고려한 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.

In the present study, we carried out quantitative analysis of chrysin and pinocembrin in Korean propolis by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) equipped with diode array detector. The separation was done using BEH C18 ($2.1{\times}50mm$, $1.7{\mu}m$) column with a mobile phase consisting of MeCN and 0.1% $H_3PO_4$ at 280 nm. The chromatographic method was validated for specificity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, linearity, precision, and accuracy. A quantitative analysis exhibited that the contents of the two compounds in Korean propolis collected from 8 inland areas except Jeju-do ranged from 3.1-46.0 mg/g. These results will be valuable as basic data for standardization of Korean propolis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of fractions and major aglycon compounds (baicalein, chrysin, oroxylin A, wogonin) of Scutellariae Radix. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measurement, DPPH radical-scavenging assay, DNA protection assay, and urease inhibition analysis were performed. The ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction showed the potent anti-Helicobacter activity, and therefore, compounds in the EtOAc fraction were subjected to further assay. The MICs of chrysin, oroxylin A, and wogonin against Helicobacter pylori 26695 were 6.25, 12.5 and $25{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Baicalein exhibited the most effective DPPH radical-scavenging activity. DNA protection using Fenton reaction, chrysin, oroxylin A, and wogonin showed effective DNA protective effect. This result was also confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Regarding Jack bean urease (0.5 mg/mL, 50 unit/mg) inhibition, 20 mM ofbaicalein and chrysin inhibited urease activity by 88.2% and 72.5%, respectively.
