6-Hydroxyflavanone, extracted from the leaves of Acorus calamus, exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-neuropathic pain activity by targeting cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), as well as opioid and GABA-A receptors. 6-Hydroxyflavanone has anti-injury sensory properties in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic neuropathy model. in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic neuropathy model with anti-injury sensory properties.

Androgen receptor:3.3 µM

6-Hydroxyflavanone (6-HF) (6-HF) (5, 30, and 60 mg/kg ) inhibited the COX-2 and 5-LOX enzymes significantly. It substantially reduced heat nociception in a hot plate analgesia meter, as well as carrageenan-induced paw edema in rodent models. The authors discovered that 6-HF exhibited anti-nociception properties in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic neuropathy (DIN) model. According to the findings of this study, 6-HF demonstrated the ability to diminish inflammation caused by diabetes, as well as to exert an anti-nociceptive.[3]
