Features:

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.

Cancer: 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.
SESN2, Sestrin 2: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Sestrin 2 (SESN2) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating cellular metabolism, stress response, and apoptosis.
High SESN2 expression is associated with better prognosis, including increased overall survival and reduced recurrence.
Low SESN2 expression is associated with poor prognosis, including increased tumor size, stage, and metastasis.
SESN2 encodes Sestrin-2, a conserved stress-inducible protein activated by oxidative stress, DNA damage, hypoxia, and nutrient deprivation (often downstream of p53/ATF4). Its core biochemical role is to restrain growth during stress.

Key functions
-Inhibits mTORC1 (via AMPK/TSC and GATOR pathways)
-Promotes autophagy
-Reduces ROS and restores redox balance
-Coordinates metabolic slowdown during damage
