| Isobavachalcone - Prenylated Chalcone Type: Natural prenylated chalcone / flavonoid-related phytochemical Sources: Found in several medicinal plants, particularly Psoralea corylifolia (Cullen corylifolium), as well as other plant species containing prenylated chalcones. Function: Isobavachalcone is a bioactive prenylated chalcone with anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective activities. Reported molecular effects include modulation of AKT, ERK/MAPK, ROS, apoptosis, inflammatory signaling, and cellular stress pathways. Cancer: Experimental studies demonstrate inhibition of cancer-cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and induction of apoptosis and other forms of regulated cell death. IBC can suppress AKT and ERK signaling, increase tumor-cell oxidative stress, and modulate antitumor immune responses. Anticancer activity has been demonstrated in pancreatic, breast, oral, colorectal, thyroid, and other experimental cancer models. Alzheimer's Disease: Preclinical studies indicate neuroprotective activity, including reduction of Aβ accumulation and plaque pathology, suppression of neuroinflammation, and improvement of memory and cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease models. |

| Destruction of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, which is widely regarded as one of the earliest events in the process of cell apoptosis. Mitochondria are organelles within eukaryotic cells that produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy molecule used by the cell. For this reason, the mitochondrion is sometimes referred to as “the powerhouse of the cell”. Mitochondria produce ATP through process of cellular respiration—specifically, aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen. The citric acid cycle, or Krebs cycle, takes place in the mitochondria. The mitochondrial membrane potential is widely used in assessing mitochondrial function as it relates to the mitochondrial capacity of ATP generation by oxidative phosphorylation. The mitochondrial membrane potential is a reliable indicator of mitochondrial health. In cancer cells, ΔΨm is often decreased, which can lead to changes in cellular metabolism, increased glycolysis, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and altered cell death pathways. The membrane of malignant mitochondria is hyperpolarized (−220 mV) in comparison to their healthy counterparts (−160 mV), which facilitates the penetration of positively charged molecules to the cancer cells mitochondria. The MMP is a critical indicator of mitochondrial function, directly reflecting the organelle's capacity to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. |
