Hinokiflavone
Hinokiflavone is a naturally occurring biflavonoid isolated from plants, recognized as a novel modulator of pre-mRNA splicing. It exhibits diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antiviral effects. Mechanistically, Hinokiflavone acts as a potent inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and suppresses the virulence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by targeting caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) with an IC₅₀ of 34.36 µg/mL. In cancer models, Hinokiflavone triggers apoptosis through a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent, mitochondria-mediated pathway and suppresses tumor cell migration and invasion. Additionally, it functions as a SUMO protease inhibitor, effectively blocking sentrin-specific protease 1 (SENP1) activity.
