Apocynin, also known as acetovanillone, is a natural organic compound structurally related to vanillin. It has been isolated from a variety of plant sources and is being studied for its variety of pharmacological properties.

Apocynin is a selective NADPH-oxidase inhibitor with an IC 50 of 10 μM. Apocynin improves acute lung inflammation in Carrageenan -induced pleurisy mice model. Apocynin can also be used for cancer research. Apocynin reverses the aging process in mesenchymal stem cells to promote osteogenesis and increases bone mass.

Here we review the therapeutic potential of apocynin, an essentially nontoxic phenolic compound isolated from the medicinal plant Jatropha multifida. Apocynin is a selective inhibitor of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase Nox2 that can be applied orally and is …

Apocynin is a naturally occurring methoxy-substituted catechol, experimentally used as an inhibitor of NADPH-oxidase. It can decrease the production of superoxide (O2 −) from activated neutrophils and macrophages while the ability of phagocytosis ...

2013年3月1日 · Apocynin is the most employed inhibitor of NADPH oxidase (NOX), a multienzymatic complex capable of catalyzing the one-electron reduction of molecular oxygen to the superoxide anion. Despite controversies about its selectivity, apocynin has been used as one of the most promising drugs in experimenta …

2021年10月18日 · Apocynin is known as a nontoxic herbal compound with anti-inflammatory potential. This review aimed to assess the effects of apocynin in the attenuation of inflammation and identify its mechanism of action based on a narrative review of available evidence.

Apocynin is a naturally occurring acetophenone, found in the roots of Apocynum cannabinum and Picrorhiza kurroa. Various chemical and pharmaceutical modifications have been carried out to enhance the absorption and duration of action of apocynin, like, formulation of chitosan-based apocynin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles, chitosan ...

Apocynin is a naturally occurring methoxy-substituted catechol, experimentally used as an inhibitor of NADPH-oxidase. It can decrease the production of superoxide (O (2) (-)) from activated neutrophils and macrophages while the ability of phagocytosis remains unaffected.

Apocynin is an ortho-methoxy-substituted catecholamine and a potent antioxidant that inhibits NOX and scavenges H2 O 2 [136]. In a recent report, apocynin has been demonstrated to suppress platelet aggregation stimulated by collagen [136].
