Uses
Pectolinarin is obtained from Linaria reflexa, and is a flavonoid displaying antioxidant activity in vitro.
Definition
ChEBI: Pectolinarin is a disaccharide derivative that consists of pectolinarigenin substituted by a 6-O-(6-deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl moiety at position 7 via a glycosidic linkage. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer, an anti-inflammatory agent, a plant metabolite, an antineoplastic agent, an EC 3.4.22.69 (SARS coronavirus main proteinase) inhibitor and an antioxidant. It is a dimethoxyflavone, a rutinoside, a glycosyloxyflavone, a disaccharide derivative and a monohydroxyflavanone. It is functionally related to a pectolinarigenin.
Biological Activity
Pectolinarinexerts anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antitumor activities. It is known to be a potent agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. It also displays antiviral, and antiparasitic effects and can inhibit bacterial biofilm formation. Pectolinarin relieves lipopolysaccharide-induced liver and kidney injuries.
