Chemical Properties

yellow to brown powder

Uses

Morin hydrate has been used:to investigate its antitumor functionality using cell viability and apoptosis assay in human cancer cell lines.as a fluorescence stain to detect aluminum in motor neurons and lumbar cord.to study its protective effect on neuronal hearing loss and on neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferation and differentiation

General Description

Morin hydrate is a yellowish pigment and a fluorescent indicator. It is used for the fluorimetric determination of several metals, mostly aluminum.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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 phospha-tidyl-inositol-phos-phate kinase activity in vitro and in vivo.
