6-Hydroxyflavone is a naturally occurring flavone, with anti-inflammatory activity. 6-Hydroxyflavone exhibits inhibitory effect towards bovine hemoglobin (BHb) glycation. 6-Hydroxyflavone can activate AKT, ERK 1/2, and JNK signaling pathways to effectively promote osteoblastic differentiation. 6-Hydroxyflavone inhibits the LPS-induced NO production[1] [2].
