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 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. However, its poor bioavailability is a bottleneck for pharmaceutical applications. To overcome the limitations and enhance the bioactive effects, methods like nanoencapsulation or conjugation have been attempted. In this review, current trends of chrysin use in the biomedical field are summarized. |
