Features:

Chrysin is found in passion flower and honey. It is a flavonoid.
-To reach plasma levels that might more closely match the concentrations used in in vitro studies (typically micromolar), considerably high doses or advanced delivery mechanisms would be necessary.

- Selectivity: Cancer Cells vs Normal Cells

Rank	Pathway / Axis	Cancer Cells	Normal Cells	TSF	Primary Effect	Notes / Interpretation
1	PI3K → AKT (± mTOR) survival axis	↓ PI3K/AKT (often ↓ p-AKT; downstream growth signals ↓)	↔	R, G	Growth/survival suppression	Frequently reported hub effect; contributes to reduced proliferation and sensitization to stress/apoptosis programs.
2	Intrinsic apoptosis (p53/Bcl-2 family → caspase-9/3)	↑ p53 axis (context); Bax↑/Bcl-2↓; ↑ caspase-9/3; apoptosis ↑	↔ (generally less activation)	G	Apoptosis execution	Common endpoint across many tumor models; often downstream of survival-pathway suppression and stress signaling.
3	ER stress / UPR (PERK and related arms)	ER stress ↑; UPR activation ↑	↔	R, G	Stress-to-death coupling	ER stress has been directly shown in chrysin-treated cancer cells and can couple to apoptosis.
4	JAK / STAT3 signaling	↓ STAT3 signaling (context)	↔	R, G	Anti-survival transcription	STAT3 inhibition is reported in cancer models and often aligns with reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis.
5	ROS / oxidative stress (context-dependent)	ROS modulation (often ↑ mitochondrial ROS in tumor models)	↔ / antioxidant behavior in some contexts	P, R, G	Stress amplifier (variable)	Direction depends on dose/model; avoid absolute “ROS always ↑/↓”. Oxidative stress + DDR has been linked to anti-angiogenic effects in vivo in melanoma models.
6	MAPK re-wiring (ERK / JNK / p38)	MAPK shifts; JNK/p38 often stress-activated; ERK variable	↔	P, R, G	Signal reprogramming	MAPK effects differ by cell line; chrysin can suppress JNK/ERK signaling to reduce MMP-9 in some models.
7	Cell-cycle arrest / proliferation control	Cell-cycle arrest ↑; proliferation ↓	↔	G	Cytostasis	Often observed as later phenotype-level outcomes, downstream of signaling changes.
8	Invasion / metastasis (MMP-9; EMT programs)	MMP-9 ↓; migration/invasion ↓ (context)	↔	G	Anti-invasive phenotype	Chrysin can reduce MMP-9 expression via AP-1 suppression and MAPK pathway effects in certain cancer models.
9	Angiogenesis (VEGF/angiogenic outputs)	Angiogenesis outputs ↓ (context)	↔	G	Anti-angiogenic support	In melanoma models, chrysin has been associated with angiogenesis regression linked to oxidative stress and DNA damage response.
10	Bioavailability constraint (oral PK limitation)	Systemic exposure often low without formulation	—	—	Translation constraint	Native chrysin oral bioavailability is extremely low due to poor solubility and extensive glucuronidation/sulfation with efflux; formulation strategies are commonly required for systemic effects.

VEGF, Vascular endothelial growth factor: Click to Expand ⟱

Source: HalifaxProj (inhibit)

Type:

A signal protein produced by many cells that stimulates the formation of blood vessels. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a signal protein that plays a crucial role in angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels form from existing ones. This process is vital for normal physiological functions, such as wound healing and the menstrual cycle, but it is also a key factor in the growth and spread of tumors in cancer.
Because of its significant role in tumor growth and progression, VEGF has become a target for cancer therapies. Anti-VEGF therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies (e.g., bevacizumab) and small molecule inhibitors, aim to inhibit the action of VEGF, thereby reducing blood supply to tumors and limiting their growth. These therapies have been used in various types of cancer, including colorectal, lung, and breast cancer.
