Uses
Camellianin A, the main flavonoid in A. nitida leaves, displays anticancer activity and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity. Camellianin A inhibits the proliferation of the human Hep G2 and MCF-7 cell lines and induces the significant increase of the G0/G1 cell population[1][2].
Definition
ChEBI: Camellianin A is a member of flavonoids and a glycoside.
