A xanthone with diverse biological activities
Gentisein is a xanthone that has been found in H. annulatum and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It scavenges DPPH radicals and inhibits the activity of α-glucosidase in cell-free assays (IC50s = 23.3 and 14.7 µM, respectively).1,2 Gentisein is cytotoxic against K562 chronic multiple leukemia cells, drug-sensitive HL-60 acute promyelocyte leukemia cells, and multidrug-resistant HL-60/DOX cells (IC50s = 102, 90.9, and 88.3 µM, respectively).3
