As glucose transport inhibitor, Phloretin can inhibits protein kinase C and has been shown to inhibit the entry of five enveloped viruses into human fibroblasts.
phloretin is a dihydrochalcone, a type of natural phenols which can be found in apple tree leaves and manchurian apricot.
Phloretin is a dihydrochalcone flavonoid with antioxidant activity usually found in apples and apple-derived products. It is extensively used for peroxynitrite scavenging and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation. It has been found to inhibit the growth of several cancer cells and induce apoptosis of B16 melanoma and HL60 human leukemia cells.
