LT, Luteolin: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Luteolin a Flavonoid found in celery, parsley, broccoli, onion leaves, carrots, peppers, cabbages, apple skins, and chrysanthemum flowers.
-MDR1 expression, MMP-9, IGF-1 and Epithelial to mesenchymal transition.

Luteolin — a naturally occurring polyhydroxylated flavone (3′,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone) found in celery, parsley, peppers, broccoli and numerous medicinal plants. It is a dietary phytochemical and experimental small-molecule anticancer/anti-inflammatory agent rather than an approved anticancer drug. Standard abbreviation: LUT or Lut. Luteolin occurs as the free aglycone and as plant glycosides; after oral administration, circulating luteolin is dominated by glucuronide and sulfate conjugates rather than free aglycone. Its cancer pharmacology is pleiotropic and strongly model-dependent, with particularly recurrent effects on PI3K/AKT/mTOR, NF-κB, STAT3, redox regulation, mitochondrial apoptosis, EMT/invasion and cell-cycle control.

Primary mechanisms (ranked):

  1. PI3K/AKT/mTOR survival signaling suppression, reducing proliferation and facilitating apoptosis, autophagy or other programmed cell-death responses.
  2. Redox-selective stress modulation: commonly ↑ ROS in susceptible cancer cells together with ↓ NRF2/HO-1/GSH-associated antioxidant defenses, while frequently reducing oxidative stress and activating protective antioxidant systems in normal tissues.
  3. NF-κB and inflammatory survival signaling inhibition, with context-dependent suppression of TNF-α, IL-6, COX-2 and related inflammatory mediators.
  4. Mitochondrial/intrinsic apoptosis activation through ↓ mitochondrial membrane potential, ↑ BAX:BCL-2 ratio, cytochrome-c release and caspase activation.
  5. STAT3/JAK signaling suppression, reducing survival, stemness, inflammatory signaling and immune-evasion phenotypes in several tumor models.
  6. EMT, migration and invasion suppression through modulation of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, MMP2/MMP9, FAK, YAP/TAZ and related pathways.
  7. Cell-cycle arrest through suppression of cyclins/CDKs and context-dependent induction of p21/p27 and p53 signaling.
  8. Metabolic and hypoxic adaptation inhibition, including HIF-1α, PKM2, HK2 and glycolytic signaling in selected models.
  9. Epigenetic modulation, including reported inhibition of DNMTs, HDAC-associated signaling and EZH2 in selected cancer models.
  10. Additional context-dependent cell-death mechanisms including ER stress, autophagy, ferroptosis and pyroptosis.

Bioavailability / PK relevance: Oral luteolin has poor aqueous solubility and unfavorable systemic availability of unconjugated aglycone. It is absorbed from the intestine but undergoes extensive intestinal and hepatic glucuronidation and sulfation. Animal studies report low absolute bioavailability of free luteolin, commonly in the low-single-digit to low-tens percentage range depending on formulation and analytical definition. Nanoemulsions, lipid/phospholipid systems, cyclodextrins, nanoparticles and other delivery systems can substantially improve exposure experimentally. Luteolin and particularly some circulating conjugates can interact with OATP1B1/OATP2B1 transporters; in-vitro CYP inhibition has also been reported, making pharmacokinetic drug interactions plausible at sufficiently high exposure.

In-vitro vs systemic exposure relevance: Many anticancer experiments use approximately 10–100 µM luteolin, often 20–50 µM or higher. These concentrations generally exceed sustained concentrations of free luteolin expected after conventional oral dietary or supplemental dosing because extensive conjugation limits circulating aglycone. Consequently, direct translation of many cell-culture IC50 values to standard oral supplementation is weak. Local gastrointestinal exposure, metabolites, tissue deconjugation and optimized formulations may partly alter this limitation.

Clinical evidence status: Predominantly preclinical, but no longer exclusively preclinical. A 2025 single-arm phase I study administered luteolin 50 mg/day for six months to five men with localized prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance; no treatment-related adverse events were reported, but the study was far too small and uncontrolled to establish anticancer efficacy. A larger phase II single-arm multicenter Japanese study of 50 mg/day for one year is currently recruiting with a planned enrollment of 40 patients. Luteolin is therefore best categorized as early-human/phase I–II investigational evidence, not established cancer therapy. Preclinical evidence for chemotherapy and radiotherapy sensitization is substantial but remains cancer-, drug- and genotype-dependent.

17 YAP / Wnt and tumor immunity ↓ YAP; ↓ Wnt-associated signaling; ↓ immune escape ↑ CTL functional activity indirectly G ↑ antitumor T-cell effectiveness 2025 animal work suggests luteolin can enhance tumor-specific CTL therapy; clinical relevance remains unproven.
18 Chemosensitization ↑ response to cisplatin and several other agents (drug-dependent) Variable; possible tissue protection in other contexts G ↓ treatment resistance Mechanisms include ↓ NRF2, ↓ AKT, ↑ p53/JNK, mitochondrial apoptosis and suppression of resistance pathways. Evidence remains predominantly preclinical.
19 Radiosensitization ↑ radiation-induced ROS and apoptosis Potential radioprotection reported in nonmalignant models R–G ↑ radiation response In NSCLC models, p38/ROS/caspase signaling increased radiosensitivity; tumor versus normal-tissue effects require careful context separation.
20 Clinical Translation Constraint High in-vitro concentrations often required Systemic exposure dominated by conjugated metabolites G Limits translation of cell-culture potency Poor aqueous solubility, extensive phase-II metabolism, formulation dependence, possible transporter/drug interactions and extremely limited controlled human oncology evidence remain major constraints.

Luteolin — Alzheimer’s disease relevance: Luteolin has substantial preclinical neuroprotective evidence and is sufficiently relevant to Alzheimer’s disease to warrant a separate database section. Reported effects include ↓ amyloid-β production/accumulation, ↓ BACE1-associated amyloidogenic processing, ↓ tau hyperphosphorylation, ↓ neuroinflammation, ↓ oxidative stress, ↓ NLRP3/NF-κB signaling and ↑ BDNF/TrkB-associated neuroplasticity. Acetylcholinesterase inhibition has also been reported. However, evidence remains predominantly cellular and animal; convincing disease-modifying clinical evidence in Alzheimer’s disease is absent. Oral bioavailability and blood-brain exposure of free luteolin remain important translational constraints.

Clinical evidence status: Preclinical. Contemporary reviews identify Alzheimer’s disease as the neurodegenerative disorder in which luteolin has been studied most extensively, but explicitly note that clinical therapeutic evidence remains deficient.

2 Amyloid-β pathology ↓ Aβ; ↓ Aβ42 ↓ amyloid burden Supported predominantly by cellular and animal studies.
3 BACE1 / amyloidogenic processing ↓ BACE1 ↓ amyloidogenic APP processing Potential upstream mechanism contributing to reduced Aβ generation.
4 Tau phosphorylation ↓ p-tau ↓ tau pathology Multiple preclinical models report reduced abnormal tau phosphorylation.
5 Oxidative stress / NRF2 ↓ ROS; ↑ NRF2; ↑ antioxidant defenses ↓ neuronal oxidative injury Direction differs from the pro-oxidant effect frequently exploited in cancer cells.
6 NLRP3 inflammasome ↓ NLRP3 ↓ inflammasome-driven neuronal inflammation Potential bridge between redox stress and neuroinflammation.
7 BDNF / TrkB neuroplasticity ↑ BDNF; ↑ TrkB ↑ synaptic and neuronal support Observed in several neurobehavioral models.
8 Acetylcholinesterase ↓ AChE ↑ cholinergic signaling Primarily biochemical/preclinical evidence; clinical magnitude is unknown.
9 Neuronal apoptosis and mitochondrial stress ↓ apoptosis; ↓ mitochondrial injury ↑ neuronal survival Opposite phenotypic direction from luteolin-induced apoptosis in many cancer models.
10 Clinical Translation Constraint Low free-luteolin exposure; limited human CNS data Uncertain clinical efficacy Human Alzheimer’s disease efficacy trials are insufficient; brain exposure and formulation remain unresolved.


JNK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK): Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
JNK acts synergistically with NF-κB, JAK/STAT, and other signaling molecules to exert a survival function. Janus signaling promotes cancer cell survival.
JNK, or c-Jun N-terminal kinase, is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. It plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). JNK is activated in response to various stress signals, such as UV radiation, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cytokines.
JNK activation can promote apoptosis in cancer cells, acting as a tumor suppressor. However, in other contexts, it can promote cell survival and proliferation, contributing to tumor progression.

JNK is often unregulated in cancers, leading to increased cancer cell proliferation, survival, and resistance to apoptosis. This activation is typically associated with poor prognosis and aggressive tumor behavior.
