Notes: Silydianin is a flavonolignan that has been found in S. marianum and has diverse biological activities.{46261,51587,51588,51589} It inhibits tyrosinase (IC50 = 2.6 µM for the mushroom enzyme) and scavenges DPPH (Item No. 14805) radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 66.8 µM).{46261,51587} Silydianin (100 µM) protects against cytotoxicity induced by allyl alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, paracetamol (acetaminophen; Item No. 10024), or D-galactosamine (Item No. 22981) in primary human hepatocytes.{51587} It inhibits the proliferation of DU145 and PC3 prostate cancer cells when used at a concentration of 90 µM.{51588} Silydianin (1%) prevents methacholine-induced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and reduces blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of eosinophils in an ovalbumin-sensitized mouse model of allergic asthma when administered via inhalation.{51589}
