In Silico Studies of Luteolin as an Anti-inflammatory Agent: A Review

Kirti Chawla, Kush Chopra

Abstract


ABSTRACT

Luteolin; chemically known as 3′, 4′, 5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone is a common compound found in plants. Such plants have often been used to treat symptoms of inflammation. The aim of this paper is to analyze the in silico studies conducted over the last 12 years on the anti-inflammatory effects of luteolin.

 

Keywords: In silico, anti-inflammatory, luteolin, flavone, apple
