Notes: Vicenin-2 is a polyketide synthase-derived flavonoid glycoside that has been found in C. subternata and has diverse biological activities.{58600,58601,58602,58603,58604} It inhibits thrombin-induced aggregation of isolated mouse platelets when used at concentrations ranging from 2 to 30 µM, as well as increases tail bleeding time in mice when administered at a dose of 35.7 µg/animal.{58601} Vicenin-2 (1 mg/kg) reduces tumor growth in a PC3 prostate cancer mouse xenograft model.{58602} It decreases trabecular separation, as well as increases trabecular thickness and area, in an ovariectomized rat model of osteoporosis.{58603} Vicenin-2 (50 mg/kg) decreases ulceration and increases colon weight and length in a mouse model of colitis induced by dextran sulfate (DSS; Item No. 23250).{58604}
