Isovitexin (apigenin-6-C-glucoside), an isomer of vitexin, is found in plants such as pigeon pea, Passiflora, bamboo, mimosa, wheat leaves, rice hull of Oryza sativa and others. Isovitexin is poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The highest level of intravenously administrated isovitexin was examined in kidney, liver, lung, and lowest in the brain. Isovitexin helps to stimulate apoptotic cell death and autophagy of various cancer cells through the upstream regulation of Bax, PARP, p-JNK, and MAPK and the downstream regulation of the caspases Bcl-2 and ERK1/2. Isovitexin has been proved to have various activities, such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-Alzheimer's disease and others.
