Emerging Utilization of Chrysin Using Nanoscale Modification

Chrysin is a flavone found in several plants, mushroom, and honeycomb. This constituent is broadly used in herbal medicine in Asia. Since its biological activities were identified in various studies, the focus has shifted to the development of chrysin as a complementary medicine for health promotion...

Chrysin is known to have chemopreventive and therapeutic effects in skin aging, atherosclerosis, inflammation, diabetes, AIDS, and cancer.
