Topical 2'-Hydroxyflavanone for Cutaneous Melanoma.

2'-hydroxyflavanone (2HF) is a dietary flavonoid with anticancer activity towardsmultiple cancers. Here, we report that topically applied 2HF inhibits the growth of intradermalimplants of melanoma in immunocompetent mice. 2HF induced apoptosis and inhibited the growthof the human SK-MEL-24 as well as murine B16-F0 and B16-F10 melanoma cell lines in vitro.

Case report of two siblings with type 2A von Willebrand disease involving a novel mutation within the calcium-binding site of the A2 domain of von Willebrand factor.

: Calcium-binding at the A2 domain protects von Willebrand factor (VWF) from cleavage by a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS13) and is coordinated by five important residues (p.Asp1596, p.Arg1597, p.

Anticancer activity of 2'-hydroxyflavanone towards lung cancer.

In previous studies, we found that 2'-hydroxyflavonone (2HF), a citrus flavonoid, inhibits the growth of renal cell carcinoma in a VHL-dependent manner. This was associated with the inhibition of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), the first step enzyme of the mercapturic acid pathway that catalyzes formation of glutathione-electrophile conjugates (GS-E). We studied 2HF in small cell (SCLC) and non-small cell (NSCLC) lung cancer cell lines for sensitivity to 2HF antineoplastic activity and to determine the role of the GS-E transporter Rlip (Ral-interacting protein; RLIP76; RALBP1) in the mechanism of action of 2HF.
