| Flavonoid glycoside. Responsible for the bitterness of grapefruit. Naringin is a flavonoid glycoside predominantly found in citrus fruits such as grapefruit and oranges. It is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer properties. It is hydrolyzed in vivo to naringenin, which exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and modulates signaling pathways (e.g., Nrf2 and NF-κB). In preclinical cancer models, naringin/naringenin is associated with cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, and reduced invasion/metastasis, often linked to upstream modulation of survival pathways (PI3K/AKT) and stress MAPKs. Oral systemic exposure is limited due to metabolism and conjugation. -Antioxidant Activity -Induction of Apoptosis -Cell Cycle Arrest (often G1 or G2/M) -Anti-inflammatory Effects -**a natural bioenhancer(effects vary) and reported to enhance the bioavailability of drugs by inhibiting cytochrome P450 (CYP3A4 especially grape fruit juice) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Naringin/naringenin can inhibit CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, contributing to grapefruit–drug interactions and potentially increasing exposure of certain medications. -Usually paired with other bioflavonoids such as quercetin, hesperidin and rutin. -Mainly obtained from grapefruit -Including enhanced solubility, improved bioavailability and targeted delivery. -Antioxidant -Inhibition of CYP19(weak/modest). Naringin suppresses the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway -Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/Akt, NF-ĸB, and TGF-β pathways -Up-regulation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and inhibition of gluconeogenesis -Antioxidant effects, by modulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) -Naringenin can reduce carcinogenesis through pleiotropic processes such as antioxidative, apoptotic-inducing ROS generation, and cell cycle arrest -Revealed new mechanisms underlying the hypolipidemic effects of naringin and naringenin, including regulation of lipid digestion, reverse cholesterol transport, and low-density lipoprotein receptor expression -Low bioavailability (approximately 8.8%) when administered orally. Bioavailability: citrus flavonoid glycosides are hydrolyzed in the gut; systemic plasma levels are often much lower than in vitro MICs.

| IFN-γ is a cytokine produced primarily by activated T lymphocytes (CD4⁺ Th1, CD8⁺ cytotoxic T cells) and natural killer (NK) cells. – It plays a central role in orchestrating immune responses against pathogens and tumor cells by enhancing antigen presentation and activating immune effector mechanisms. – IFN-γ can promote antitumor immunity by activating macrophages, NK cells, and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. – It enhances the presentation of tumor antigens, thereby facilitating the immune system’s ability to target and eliminate cancer cells. • Its expression and signaling within the tumor microenvironment are generally associated with a robust immune response and, in many cases, a favorable prognosis—particularly in tumors deemed "immunologically hot." • Dual Role: – While IFN-γ typically supports immune-mediated tumor suppression, chronic exposure to IFN-γ within the tumor microenvironment may contribute to immune editing and the selection of tumor cell variants that are resistant to immune attack. |
