General description
Casticin is one of the flavonoids present in the traditional Chinese medicine Inula japonica Thunb. It is a polymethyl compound with three rings, a catechol moiety at ortho position, one double bond, two hydroxyl groups, and four methoxy groups. It has been isolated from the fruits, seeds, and leaves of various Vitex species.
Application
Casticin from Vitex trifolia is used to study its mechanisms of action as an antiiflammatory and anticancer agent via processes such as TRAIL-induced apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, ROS generation, and glutathione (GSH) depletion.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Casticin has anticancer, pro-apoptotic, anti-proliferative, anti-asthmatic, and anti-angiogenic properties. In addition, it exhibits anti-inflammatory behavior by means of its inhibitory effect on lipoxygenases and T- & B-lymphocytes. Due to its oestrogenic activity, it is being used to manage Premenstrual syndrome in women. It is also reported to mitigate rheumatoid arthritis and liver fibrosis manifestations.
Tubulin-binding anticancer flavonoid. Casticin induces apoptosis in cancer cells.

Casticin, a polymethoxyflavone, has been reported to exert anticancer activities. The objectives of this study were to examine the molecular mechanisms by which casticin induces the growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. The HCC

Natural polyphenols play an important role in tumor inhibition. We used a doxorubicin-sensitive acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line (CCRF-CEM) and its multidrug-resistant subline (CEM/ADR5000) to evaluate the activity of 15 plant polyphenols isolated in our laboratory (hypericin and pseudohypericin, verbascoside

We studied the mechanism of anti-tumor activity of the flavonoid Casticin, derived from Achillea millefolium. Casticin anti-tumor activity results in cell growth arrest in G2/M and in apoptotic death. As a tubulin-binding agent (TBA), Casticin induces p21, which in turn
