| 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.

| cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 (also known as p21 WAF1/Cip1) promotes cell cycle arrest in response to many stimuli. P21 is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle. It is encoded by the CDKN1A gene and is a key player in the cellular response to stress, including DNA damage. P21 is often considered a tumor suppressor because its expression is upregulated in response to p53 activation, a well-known tumor suppressor protein. When DNA damage occurs, p53 can activate the transcription of the CDKN1A gene, leading to increased levels of P21, which helps prevent the proliferation of damaged cells. In many cancers, the p53 pathway is disrupted, leading to decreased levels of P21. p21 is a apoptotic marker protein. Cell cycle arrest gene p21 |
