Herbacetin

Herbacetin is a natural flavonoid from flaxseed, exerts various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects[1]. Herbacetin is an Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) allosteric inhibitor, directly binds to Asp44, Asp243, and Glu384 on ODC. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the first step of polyamine biosynthesis[2].
