Naringenin

Naringenin is naringin glycosides, are dihydrogen flavonoids, with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antispasmodic and gallbladder effect, clinical application in the treatment of bacterial infection, sedation, anti-cancer.

1. Naringenin has anticancer effect , can kill various cancer cells .

2. Naringenin has protective effect on focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats , and its mechanism may relate with its effective scavenging of free radicals. Naringenin significantly decreased the cerebral water content, reduced the volume of cerebral infarction of the impaired brain hemisphere,lowered the level of MDA and improved the activity of SOD in brain. This shows Naringenin can has protective effect on brain hemisphere .

3. Naringenin can significantly lower the plasma cholesterol concentration and the hepatic cholesterol content .

4. Naringenin has also been shown to reduce hepatitis C virus production by infected hepatocytes (liver cells) incell culture . This seem to be secondary to Narigenin ability to inhibit the secretion of very low density lipoprotein by the cells.

5. Naringenin has bioactive effect on human health as antioidant , free radical scavenger , antisepsis , anti-inflammatory , antispasmodic activity.
