604-59-1O=c1cc(-c2ccccc2)oc2c1ccc1ccccc12VFMMPHCGEFXGIP-UHFFFAOYSA-NAlpha-naphthoflavone is an extended flavonoid resulting from the formal fusion of a benzene ring with the h side of flavone. A synthetic compound, it is an inhibitor of aromatase (EC 1.14.14.14). It has a role as an EC 1.14.14.14 (aromatase) inhibitor, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist and an aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist. It is an organic heterotricyclic compound, a naphtho-gamma-pyrone and an extended flavonoid.
604-59-1DTXSID2040650CHEMBL283196CHEBI:76995UsesThe aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that promotes the expression of phase I and II xenobiotic chemical metabolizing enzyme genes, including the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP1A1 and CYP1A2. α-Naphthoflavone is a flavone that modulates xenobiotic metabolism at several points. It antagonizes AhR, blocking the expression of phase I and II genes at nanomolar concentrations, although it can agonize AhR at higher concentrations (10 μM). α-Naphthoflavone inhibits CYP19 (aromatase), CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1 (IC50s = 500, 60, 6, and 5 nM, respectively), whereas it activates CYP3A4 (Kd = 7.4 μM). Dietary α-naphthoflavone can contribute to carcinogenesis in the presence of synthetic estrogens.[Cayman Chemical]
Usesα-Naphthylflavone is a flavenoid compound that acts on μ-opioid receptors in the treatment of pain. Also acts as a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor used in breast cancer therapy.
