| Abstract: | The larches, the Larix genus of plants are known as a natural source of taxifolin (dihydroquercetin), and extracts of its taxifolin rich xylem are used in dietary supplements to maintain health. In the present study, to assess biological activities of a methanol extract of the Japanese larch, Larix kaempferi (LK-ME), the effects of LK-ME on cell viability, inflammatory cytokine expression, and glycation were investigated. The effects of taxifolin which is known to be a main compound of LK-ME, and its related flavonoids, quercetin and luteolin were also examined. The results show that taxifolin exhibits lower growth inhibition activity and lesser induction activity of inflammatory cytokines in a human monocyte derived cell line, THP-1 cells, while in vitro anti-glycation activities of taxifolin were inhibiting at comparable levels to those of quercetin and luteolin. The growth inhibition and the cytokine induction activities, and the anti-glycation effects of LK-ME are assumed to have properties similar to taxifolin. The results of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis indicated that taxifolin was detected as the main peak of LK-ME at the absorbance of 280 nm, and the concentration of taxifolin was measured as 3.12 mg/ml. The actual concentration of taxifolin in LK-ME is lower than the concentration estimated from the IC50 values calculated by the results of glycation assays, suggesting that other compounds contained in LK-ME are involved in the anti-glycation activity. |
