β-Naphthoflavone

• Description:

  β-Naphthoflavone is an exogenous aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligand. β-Naphthoflavone can activate AHR to participate in various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and metabolism. β-Naphthoflavone has antioxidant activity and can exert its antioxidant function by regulating the activity of antioxidant enzymes. β-Naphthoflavone is also a non-carcinogenic CYP1A inducer and can be used to treat aristolochic acid (AAI) induced renal injury[1][2][3].
