Oroxin A 是从紫薇科植物 Oroxylum indicum(L.)Kurz 种子提取物 (OISE) 中的主要成分,通过与 PPARγ 蛋白的配体结合结构域相结合,激活 PPARγ。此外,它还能抑制 α-葡萄糖苷酶活性,并具备一定的抗氧化能力。研究表明,Oroxin A 具有潜在的抗癌效果。
体外研究在 HEK-293t 细胞中,Oroxin A (0.5-100 μM; 24 小时) 显著增加了 PPARγ 转录水平,并且在 50 μM 浓度下表现出最强的激活效果。
化学性质Oroxin A 是一种黄色结晶粉末,可溶于甲醇、乙醇和 DMSO 等有机溶剂。它来源于黄芩和木蝴蝶。

In this study, we investigated the host–guest interactions between oroxin A (OA) and cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) using 1H NMR, MS, UV–vis and IR spectroscopy. The results showed that OA and Q[8] formed an inclusion compound (OA@Q[8]) with a molar ratio of 1:1 and a binding constant of 1.299 × 107 L·mol−1. In addition, the effect of Q[8] on the properties of OA was investigated through comparative experiments. The solubility of OA in water increased 22.47-fold when the concentration of Q[8] was 1 × 10−4 mol·L−1. Q[8] hardly affected the antioxidant capacity of OA, while the cumulative release of OA in gastric juice increased 2.3-fold after forming the inclusion compound with Q[8].
A novel environment-friendly method to access bioactive oroxin A through a one-pot/two-step process from naturally abundant and inexpensive baicalin is described.
