General description
An estrogenic flavanoid with anti-tumor and anti-parasitic properties. Shown to reduce Bcl-2 protein expression and induce apoptosis in several human cancer cell lines. Also induces cell differentiation and enhances the effect of paclitaxel and vinblastine chemotherapy. Reported to interfere with parasite mitochondrial electron transport chain and energy metabolism.
