General description
β-Naphthoflavone is a polyaromatic hydrocarbon.
Application
β-Naphthoflavone has been used:
- as aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist to elucidate its effect on Cyp1A1 expression in embryos of transgenic cytochrome P450 1A1 (cyp1a) reporter zebrafish
- as AhR agonists, to treat primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) to study about aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation by western blot analysis
- to determine its effect on the expression of dystrophin (Dp)71
- to stimulate the expression of causes recombination (Cre) recombinase and to delete the flanking alleles of locus of crossing (x) over, P1 (loxP) sequences
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Naphthoflavone (BNF) is an exogenous ligand for aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in humans. It is an inducer of phase I detoxification enzymes (CYPs) and phase II enzymes (UDP-GTs) and NAD(P)H-dependent quinone oxyreductase-1(NQO1). It also induces cytochrome P450 (Cyp1a). BNF represses the expression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene, dystrophin (Dp)71 by altering the binding of the transcription factors.

We have previously shown that cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) was highly induced for a long period of time in a patient who had been poisoned by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a compound known to activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). During that period

Functionalized benzylidene-indolin-2-ones are widely associated with antiproliferative activity. The scaffold is not normally associated with chemoprevention in spite of the presence of a nitrogen-linked Michael acceptor moiety that may predispose members to induction of NQO1, a widely used biomarker of
