Amentoflavone

Amentoflavone is a biflavonoid (bis-apigenin coupled at 8 and 3' positions, or 3′,8′′-biapigenin) constituent of a number of plants including Ginkgo biloba, Chamaecyparis obtusa (hinoki), Hypericum perforatum (St. John's Wort)[1] and Xerophyta plicata.[2]

Amentoflavone can interact with many medications by being a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, which are enzymes responsible for the metabolism of some drugs in the body.[3] It is also an inhibitor of human cathepsin B.[1]

Amentoflavone has a variety of in vitro activities including antimalarial activity,[4] anticancer activity (which may, at least in part, be mediated by its inhibition of fatty acid synthase),[5][6][7] and antagonist activity at the κ-opioid receptor (Ke = 490 nmol L−1)[8] as well as activity at the allosteric benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor as a negative allosteric modulator.[9]
