Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Morin hydrate has been used:_x000D_ • to investigate its antitumor functionality using cell viability and apoptosis assay in human cancer cell lines._x000D_ • as a fluorescence stain to detect aluminum in motor neurons and lumbar cord._x000D_ • to study its protective effect on neuronal hearing loss and on neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferation and differentiation_x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 2, 5, 10 g in poly bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Morin hydrate is a flavonoid with antioxidant properties. It has been shown to protect cells against oxygen radical damage. Morin not only scavenges oxyradicals, but also moderately inhibits xanthine oxidase, a free-radical generating enzyme. At concentrations of 75-100 micromolar, morin inhibits oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) by free radicals or Cu2+. Morin has been reported to inhibit rat brain phospha­tidyl­inositol­phos­phate kinase activity in vitro and in vivo._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ This compound is also offered as part of Sigma′s Library of Pharmacologically Active Compounds (LOPAC®1280), a biologically annotated collection of high-quality, ready-to-screen compounds.
