Uses
3,5,7,3’,4’-Pentamethoxyflavone is a Ca2+ channel inhibitor. 3,5,7,3’,4’-Pentamethoxyflavone can protect DNA from oxidative damage. 3,5,7,3’,4’-Pentamethoxyflavone can induce relaxation of the human corpus cavernosum through calcium mobilization-related mechanisms. 3,5,7,3’,4’-Pentamethoxyflavone can promote the expression of eNOS and cystathionine gamma lyase CSE proteins in middle-aged male rats and regulate vascular function. 3,5,7,3’,4’-Pentamethoxyflavone can be used in research related to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases[1][2][4].
