In Vitro	Norathyriol (1-25 µM) inhibits growth by inducing cell cycle arrest in JB6 P+ cells. Norathyriol inhibits JB6 cell growth by inducing G2-M arrest[3]. Norathyriol suppresses UVB-induced phosphorylation of ERKs, AP-1 and NF-κB activation in JB6 P+ cells[3]Cell Growth Assay WB Cell Viability Assay[3] Cell Line: Mouse skin epidermal JB6 P+ cells Concentration: 0, 1, 10, or 25 µM Incubation Time: 24 or 72 hours Result: Inhibited cell growth in a dose- as well as time-dependent manner but does not cause cell death. Western Blot Analysis[3] Cell Line: JB6 P+ cells Concentration: 0, 1, 10, or 25 µM Incubation Time: 2 hours Result: Inhibited UVB-induced phosphorylation of ERKs and p90RSK.
In Vivo	Norathyriol is a natural metabolite of Mangifera in the human intestine with the oral availability and safety[1]. Norathyriol (0.92, 1.85 and 3.7 mg/kg) dose dependently decreased the serum urate levels by 27.0, 33.6 and 37.4%, respectively[4]. Animal Model: Adult Kunming mice weighing 18-22 g[4] Dosage: 0.92, 1.85 and 3.7 mg/kg Administration: Administered intragastrically; twice daily for five times Result: The serum uric acid levels were decreased by 27.0%, 33.6% and 37.4%.
