Apigenin, a plant bioactive compound, has therapeutic potential against infectious diseases and tumor growth inhibition. It shows synergistic effects with sorafenib in cancer treatment, reducing tumor cell viability, migration, gene expression, and inducing apoptosis. Apigenin also has anti-cancer properties and can prevent cell mobility, maintain cell cycle, and stimulate the immune system. It suppresses mTOR activity, promotes UVB-induced phagocytosis, and inhibits cancer cell proliferation and growth. Additionally, it has a high safety level when consumed in a vegetable-rich diet. This paper provides an updated overview of apigenin's beneficial effects and analyzes its impact on cancer cell signaling pathways.
Plant bioactive compounds, particularly apigenin, have therapeutic potential and functional activities that aid in the prevention of infectious diseases in many mammalian bodies and promote tumor growth inhibition. Apigenin is a flavonoid with low toxicities and numerous bioactive properties due to which it has been considered as a traditional medicine for decades. Apigenin shows synergistic effects in combined treatment with sorafenib in the HepG2 human cell line (HCC) in less time and statistically reduces the viability of tumor cells, migration, gene expression and apoptosis. The combination of anti-cancerous drugs with apigenin has shown health promoting potential against various cancers. It can prevent cell mobility, maintain the cell cycle and stimulate the immune system. Apigenin also suppresses mTOR activity and raises the UVB-induced phagocytosis and reduces the cancerous cell proliferation and growth. It also has a high safety threshold, and active (anti-cancer) doses can be gained by consuming a vegetable and apigenin rich diet. Apigenin also boosted autophagosome formation, decreased cell proliferation and activated autophagy by preventing the activity of the PI3K pathway, specifically in HepG2 cells. This paper provides an updated overview of apigenin's beneficial anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer effects, making it a step in the right direction for therapeutics. This study also critically analyzed the effect of apigenin on cancer cell signaling pathways including the PI3K/AKT/MTOR, JAK/STAT, NF-kappa B and ERK/MAPK pathways.
