Features:

Vitexin - Apigenin-8-C-Glucoside

Alternative Names: Apigenin-8-C-glucoside, apigenin-8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside

Type: Flavone C-glycoside / apigenin derivative

Function: Vitexin is a naturally occurring C-glycosylated flavone in which glucose is attached to apigenin at the C-8 position. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, neuroprotective, and antiproliferative activities and can modulate pathways involving NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1, MAPK, PI3K/AKT, AMPK, HIF-1α, apoptosis, and oxidative stress.

Cancer: Preclinical studies indicate antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-migratory, anti-invasive, and anti-inflammatory effects across multiple cancer models. Reported mechanisms include modulation of PI3K/AKT, MAPK, NF-κB, HIF-1α, ROS, apoptosis, and cell-cycle signaling. Clinical anticancer efficacy has not been established.

Alzheimer's Disease: Preclinical evidence suggests neuroprotective activity through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, reduction of neuronal injury, regulation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, and modulation of signaling pathways relevant to cognitive impairment and amyloid-associated neurotoxicity. Clinical efficacy for Alzheimer's disease has not been established.



TSC2, tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC): Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
TSC2 is a tumor suppressor gene as well as a disease-causing gene for autosomal dominant disorder tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).

TSC1 (hamartin) and TSC2 (tuberin) form a complex that plays a critical role in regulating the mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) pathway.
• The TSC1/TSC2 complex acts as a negative regulator of mTOR signaling; when active, it helps suppress cell growth and proliferation.

TSC1 and TSC2 serve as tumor suppressors.
TSC1 and TSC2 are not overexpressed in cancer; they are typically involved in loss-of-function scenarios that lead to tumorigenesis.
