Abstract:
Apigenin is a plant flavonoid which has various biological activities and pharmacological effects including anti-tumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, sedative and so on, particularly in the anti-tumor areas. It can inhibit proliferation, invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis of tumor cells. In addition, it can also induce apoptosis and enhance chemotherapy sensitivity.
