(2S)-6-Prenylnaringenin

(2S)-6-Prenylnaringenin is a prenylated flavonoid that has been found in the hop plant, H. lupulus, and has diverse biological activities.{64052,64053} It inhibits the T-type voltage-gated calcium (Cav) channel Cav3.2 in HEK293 cells and high-voltage-activated calcium currents in differentiated NG 108-15 cells in whole-cell patch-clamp assays (IC50s = 0.928 and 2.005 µM, respectively).{64052} (2S)-6-Prenylnaringenin reduces the activity of aldose reductase 2 (ALR2; IC50 = 6.2 µM for the recombinant human enzyme).{64053} It reduces mechanical allodynia in a mouse model of sodium hydrosulfide-induced somatic pain when administered at a dose of 10 pmol/paw.{64052}
