Notes: Eupatilin is a flavonoid that has been found in Artemisia and has diverse biological activities.{31454,31451,31453,61041,61042} It inhibits cell growth in A375 melanoma cells when used at concentrations ranging from 25 to 800 µM.{31454} Eupatilin binds to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα; IC50 = 1.18 µM) and induces reporter gene expression in CV-1 cells expressing human PPARα, but not PPARγ, when used at concentrations ranging from 10 to 300 µM.{31451} It prevents hydrogen peroxide-induced disruption of the F-actin cytoskeleton and inhibition of cell migration in AGS gastric epithelial cells.{31452} Eupatilin also inhibits 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) activity in cultured mastocytoma cells (IC50 = 14 µM).{31453} In vivo, eupatilin (5, 10, and 15 mg/kg) reduces pulmonary edema and levels of the lung injury markers surfactant protein A (SPA) and SPD in a rat model of LPS-induced acute lung injury.{61041} It reduces serum levels of histamine and increases survival in a mouse model of allergic anaphylactic shock induced by compound 48/80 (Item No. 22173).{61042}
