Abstract:
Eriodictyol is a natural flavonoid which is abundant in vegetables, fruits and some Chinese medicines with many pharmacological effects such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, antitumor and neuroprotection. It has been used in the treatment of asthma, allergic rhinitis, rheumatism and other diseases frequently. With the deeper research on eriodictyol, the mechanism of its pharmacological effect has been found to be involved in nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB), and protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) signal pathways. In this paper, we summarize the recent research progress on pharmacological effects of eriodictyol, with purpose to offer reference in further research, development and utilization.
