Robustaflavone（Cat No.:I035651）is a naturally occurring flavonoid found in various plant species, including Cyrtomium ferns and Cissus species. It has gained attention for its potential pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. Robustaflavone has been studied for its ability to modulate signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis, making it a candidate for cancer therapeutics. Additionally, it may possess neuroprotective effects, potentially offering benefits in neurodegenerative diseases. Ongoing research is exploring its full therapeutic potential and mechanisms of action in various biological contexts.
