| Vitexin - Apigenin-8-C-Glucoside Alternative Names: Apigenin-8-C-glucoside, apigenin-8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside Type: Flavone C-glycoside / apigenin derivative Function: Vitexin is a naturally occurring C-glycosylated flavone in which glucose is attached to apigenin at the C-8 position. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, neuroprotective, and antiproliferative activities and can modulate pathways involving NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1, MAPK, PI3K/AKT, AMPK, HIF-1α, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. -see also IsoVitexinCancer: Preclinical studies indicate antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-migratory, anti-invasive, and anti-inflammatory effects across multiple cancer models. Reported mechanisms include modulation of PI3K/AKT, MAPK, NF-κB, HIF-1α, ROS, apoptosis, and cell-cycle signaling. Clinical anticancer efficacy has not been established. Alzheimer's Disease: Preclinical evidence suggests neuroprotective activity through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, reduction of neuronal injury, regulation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, and modulation of signaling pathways relevant to cognitive impairment and amyloid-associated neurotoxicity. Clinical efficacy for Alzheimer's disease has not been established. |

| Process through which new blood vessels. Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels, plays a crucial role in cancer progression and metastasis. Tumors require a blood supply to grow beyond a certain size and to spread to other parts of the body. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): VEGF is one of the most important pro-angiogenic factors. It stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration, leading to the formation of new blood vessels. Many tumors overexpress VEGF, which correlates with poor prognosis. Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF): In response to low oxygen levels (hypoxia), tumors can activate HIF, which in turn promotes the expression of VEGF and other angiogenic factors. This mechanism allows tumors to adapt to their microenvironment and sustain growth. -Tumour development and progression beyond a size of few millimetres‐cubed crucially depends on the onset of angiogenesis, that is, the ‘angiogenic switch’ |
