Flavonoids have been reported to be vital in treating various chronic disorders. Luteolin (3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone) is a flavonoid present in a variety of plant sources such as celery, green pepper, olive oil, peppermint, thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc. It has been reported to have various pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-Alzheimer, antimicrobial, etc. Many scientific studies have been carried out on luteolin for its possible effects on diabetes and its associated complications. The present review focuses on the role of luteolin in diabetes mellitus and the associated complications. The antidiabetic impact of luteolin is linked with the increased expression of PPARγ and GLUT. Various in vitro and in vivo studies have been performed to explore the effects of luteolin on diabetic complications, and it has shown a significant impact in the management of the same.

, a salt-tolerant plant, has demonstrated antioxidant effects, the ability to prevent prostate enlargement, antifungal properties, and skin moisturizing benefits. This study aimed to explore the anti-melanogenic potential of the 70% ethanol extract of (TME) along with its ethyl acetate (TME-EA) and water (TME-A) fractions. TME (10-200 µg/mL), TME-EA (1-15 µg/mL), and TME-A (100-1000 µg/mL) were prepared and applied to B16F10 cells with or without α-MSH for 72 h.

Due to the structural diversity of flavonoids in functional plant foods and the inherent limitations of existing techniques, it is important to develop a simple and green (environmentally friendly) method of extracting flavonoids from plant foods. In this study, a method involving solvent extraction followed by automated solid-phase extraction was developed for extracting flavonoids from flos (JYH) and (SYH), both of which are widely used functional plant-based foods in Asian countries. For the optimisation of the solvent extraction method, solvent concentration (0.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies suggest that certain ingredients from the herbal formula "Zhe-Ba-Wei" may have potential antitumor effects, but comprehensive research on its role in cancer is lacking.
  • Researchers identified 17 active ingredients related to tumors and narrowed it down to four key components (ferulic acid, quercetin, rutin, luteolin) linked by 27 common gene targets.
  • The study found that ferulic acid, luteolin, and quercetin can inhibit the growth of non-small cell lung cancer cells and reduce EGFR protein levels, highlighting Zhe-Ba-Wei's potential in cancer treatment and its future research opportunities.
