Definition

ChEBI: Diuvaretin is a member of the class of dihydrochalcones that is dihydrochalcone substituted by 2-hydroxybenzyl groups at positions 3 and 5, hydroxy groups at positions 2 and 4 and a methoxy group at position 6. Isolated from the roots of Uvaria acuminata and Uvaria chamae, it exhibits cytotoxicity towards human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells. It has a role as a metabolite, an antineoplastic agent and an antimalarial. It is a member of dihydrochalcones, a member of resorcinols and a monomethoxybenzene.

Biological Activity

Diuvaretin exhibits cytotoxicity towards human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells. It has a role as a metabolite, an antineoplastic agent and an antimalarial. ', 'Diuvaretin inhibits NF-kB activation, hindering inflammation and cancer. It also suppresses tumor cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and diminishes tumor growth and angiogenesis in mouse cancer models.
