Description:

most inexpensive and widely available flavonoid, because it is present in more than 1:10 gram for gram quantities in common parsley flakes in the form of apin. Apigenin is the resveratrol-like flavone, withsimilar properties and healthful benefits. Although apigeninhas not yet received as much attention as resveratrol, the research that does exist is very promising, and apigenin hasconsistently performed well in comparitive studies thus far. This is not all. Apigenin is in the group of flavonoids that have a paradoxical anti-diarrheal property. Apigenin acts by blockadingthe cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)chloride channel, so that water is conserved in the body and not lost in the intestine.Diarrhea and ancillary effects such as dehydration can be a scourgein many of the poor areas of the world, producing many fatalities,especially among young children. Parsley flakes have now been proposed as an addition to the anti-diarrhea regimen, and a sophisticated molecular agent is now inexpensively and readily available to help solve a major problem in the world. Finally, parsley is simply a delightful and tastey spice. Moreinformation, including recipes, is available inthe blog.Share|Apigenin related molecules gallery and structural archiveSMILES: O1C(=CC(=O)c2c1cc(O)cc2O)c3ccc(O)cc3other names:1151-98-0 Apigeninidin C08574 28441-98-7 6,8''-Biapigenin Agathisflavone C10017 1617-53-4 3',8''-Biapigenin Amentoflavone C10018 5128-44-9 Apigenin 7,4'-dimethyl ether Apigenin dimethylether C10019 Apigenin 7-(6''-malonylglucoside) Apigenin 7-O-(6-malonyl-beta-D-glucoside) C10020 3952-18-9 8,8''-Biapigenin C10034 Cupressuflavone 437-64-9 Apigenin 7-methyl ether C10046 Genkwanin 41440-05-5 8-Hydroxyapigenin C10097 Isoscutellarein 3',6''-Biapigenin 49620-13-5 C10179 Robustaflavone 529-53-3 6-Hydroxyapigenin C10184 Isocarthamidin Scutellarein 23666-13-9 5,7,4'-Trihydroxyflavone-6,8-di-C-glucoside Apigenin-6,8-di-C-glycoside C10195 Vicenin-2 3681-93-4 Apigenin 8-C-glucoside C01460 Vitexin 4',5,7-Trihydroxyflavone 5,7,4'-Trihydroxyflavone 520-36-5 Apigenin C01477 29702-25-8 38953-85-4 6-C-Glucosylapigenin Apigenin 6-C-glucoside Apigenin-6-C-glucoside C01714 Isovitexin Saponaretin 578-74-5 7-(beta-D-Glucopyranosyloxy)-5-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one 7-O-beta-D-Glucosyl-5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone Apigenin 7-O-beta-D-glucoside Apigenin 7-O-glucoside Apigetrin C04608 Cosmetin Cosmosiin 26544-34-3 7-O-(beta-D-Apiofuranosyl-1,2-beta-D-glucosyl)-5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavon7-[(2-O-D-Apio-beta-D-furanosyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-5-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one Apigenin 7-O-[beta-D-apiosyl-(1- 3-Methoxyapigenin C05902 4'-Methoxyapigenin 480-44-4 4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one, 5,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)- 5,7-Dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone 5,7-Dioxy-4'-methoxyflavone ACAETIN Acacetin Acacetine Akatsetin Apigenin 4'-dimethyl ether Apigenin 4'-methyl ether Apisenin 4'-methyl ether Buddleoflavonol Flavone, 5,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy- Linarigenin Linarisenin NSC76061 WLN: T66 BO EVJ CR DO1& GQ IQ 4',5,7-Trihydroxyflavone 4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one, 5,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)- 520-36-5 Apigenin Apigenine Apigenol C.I.

exists. One such example, which continues as an important treatmentof GNU-Darwin-style free software and political activism, is Three Years of Free Software Activism: The Case of GNU-Darwin OS.Although this article was written several years ago, it continues fresh, andthe ideas formulated in the article are the bedrock of molecules activism. Another great example is The GNU-Darwin Distribution 1.0: A Perspective from the Founder.updated Sat Feb 13 17:39:58 EST 2010Keyword galleries are largeley finished in the present phase of the project,so that it will be easier to find things like methylated and alpha-type molecules. To check this feature, look in the MOD gallery. The new linksare right at the top. Comprehensive molecule directory indexing has begun,with the aim of raising the current total to over 2.8 million molecules assoon as possible. I always find myself saying that this us just thebeginning, and it is still true. It is possible to follow theindexing progress, with the caveat that thelist is likely to grow very large very quickly.updated Sun Dec 27 17:18:25 EST 2009For those who are following the activism aspect of the Molecules site, I thought that you might be interested in a little pre-history as it were. Prior to the founding of the Molecules site,the activism first hatched under the GNU-Darwin umbrella, and the fundamental idea of moleculesactivism was invented. Initially, it was concerned primarilywith resveratrol and other caloric restriction memetics, but it was clearly bound to expandfrom there. You can read some of the early material in the GNU-Darwin Posts regarding resveratrol and calorie restriction.As was previously mentioned, the ideas were formally developed in the FOSS, Science, and Public activismessay, and it was even put forth as a war protest in the so-calledbootstrapping essay.As the Molecules site developed, it became clear that additional adjunct activities were required in order to push the activism harder. One of these adjuncts was created on the Vitacost website, where it iseasy to provide directed linksto crucial molecules for those who want to obtain them for themselves. Moreover, the activism ideas continue to evolve there in blog format. Check it out:Michael L. Love proclus Blog on Vitacost.updated Wed Dec 9 16:22:35 EST 2009A new Google search widget was added to the top of the main page, and search resultsare now displayed inside the page. I like it, but I am definitely interestedin the opinions of our users, so feel free towrite in. For those that prefer it, we will be leaving the old widget in the left sidebar for the foreseeable.In other Google-related site news, the search function warning has been removed,because Google appears to have indexed the site rather thoroughly, and updates are happening regularly as well. It appears that Google may read our site news ;-}, and they are now spidering more strategically at any rate. Moreover,given their spidering rate, it can be expected that they could have spidered theentire site in the time that it has been on line.The molecules site is an SEO enigma. Top key words are numerically a smallcomponent of our search volume, accounting for hundreds of searches in the last year or so. Obscure single searches account for thousands. This disparity is expected to grow as we grow the archive and add structured 3D compounds. I am impressed that our users are more concerned about the less commonplace, a compliment I hope.updated Tue Dec 1 13:38:54 EST 2009Although the main MOD has not received an update for some time, ample work has beengoing on behind the scenes, and we have developed a number of fine galleries, whichrise almost to MOD status.Under the aegis of The GNU-Darwin Distribution,the Molecules site also maintains an activist component to its mission. The latest example of these two factors in action is the beta sitosterol gallery,which again demonstrates how we can publish and link on a particular molecule of interest.If you are interested in seeing more of this kind of work, please feel free towrite inand let us know. Activist work is likely to be pro bono, and the premise is simple; to publish and promote prior art and public knowledge of molecules, which can have an impacton people's access to inexpensive medicine, beneficial supplements, and other important uses,outside of corporate channeled biased knowledge and their monopolistic price structure. Thebest summary of the over-arching principles in play is theFOSS, Science, and Public activismessay.updated Thu Nov 26 11:52:24 EST 2009If you would like to learn more about the Molecules site founder, you can visit some of the following links.Many of our site visitors will be familiar with thePyMOL software, which is usedto produce many of the best molecular graphics images on this site. Wehave learned that the author and creator of PyMOL, Warren Delano, has passed on at age 37. Warren was a friend, who will be missed and remembered, but his many contributions live on. The family has created a blog where those who have memories of Warrencan share them.updated Thu Oct 22 15:03:10 EDT 2009The profile of the archive is growing and spreading on the web, and we currently have about 131 external links, with more certainly on the way. Some of them are featured in our sidebar.If you have a great page that links to the Molecules site, be sure and letus know! Our ad revenues only defray in part the cost of operating the site, and weare looking for more opportunities. If you would like us to provide pertinentlinks or publish on a particular molecule, it is certainly something that wecan consider. Here is anexampleof the kinds of things that we can do.Email us!updated Thu Oct 15 20:36:29 EDT 2009tip: All of our molecule image files are contained in their respective directories, with the pdb, sdf and other related files and information. Ifyou pull an image up from Google Image, simply delete the image name from theURL to see the molecule directory information. That is what I do. More MOD galleries have been generated in order to answer demand and take some load off of the main gallery page, which contains a vast number of images. It can definitely beslow loading. Some of the MOD galleries are also quite large, so that this tip applies to some of them as well. Plans are afoot to deal with some ofthe large slow loading pages.The top page has only received occasional updates in the past year, due the factthat I have been very busy elsewhere. One of the things that keeps me busy isthe site generation code, which is a marvellous research tool. All of the code is available in the infrastructure link in the left sidebar. Google seems to find the infrastructuremore interesting than the rest of the site! Over the course of the past year, 100 MOD galleries havebeen generated, and many thousands of molecule directories have been generated orrefreshed. Now that thousands of files have been indexed, the Google search toolworks nicely, although the site obviously contains orders of magnitude more filesthan Google has yet been able to index, in spite of their impressive constant crawling. Google Webmaster Tools reports that the number of links on the site is "extremely high". With a tiny number of exceptions,all of the pages are generated by machine, so that it is not hard to imaginethe situation will improve vastly in the future. The links are clustered togetheron each molecule page. We are also working on an alphanumeric index, which alreadycontains a large number of links by name to molecule directories, but like so much of the site, it is intended for human eyes. It is only full of links. We have transitioned to a newserver, which has improved stability, and it appears to be faster. Nonetheless, some instabilityin our network connection has appeared since the time of the upgrade, so that thereare occasionally several second delays in loading. I haven't figured out why yet.updated Wed Sep 17 23:56:32 EDT 2008Added Molscript graphics and MOD desktop image to the right sidebar. The theme is infinite carbon chain. The code is in infrastructure. The other main molecular graphics programs in use at this time are RasMol, Rester3D, PyMOL, and PovChem. The viewer is xzgv, and ImageMagick for touch up; mainly mogrify and convert. Please feel free to send any questions along.updated Thu Sep 11 22:33:51 EDT 2008We continue to get encouragment to provide coordinate fileswith improved geometry, although this is a computationally intensive task which is down the road still. Meanwhile,a few supurb 3-dimensional structures are already found in the archive, and two of them have been featured in the rightsidebar today. If you rummage around in the MOD galleries, youare likely to find more 3D coordinate files, as well as some very interesting 2D representations! In our opinion,many of the most interesting molecules have planar geometry,so that the current files are quite useful. In due course,we plan to provide a comprehensive collection of coordinatefiles with good stereochemical geometry, all in the selfsamespirit of free and open source software and public access.We welcome any and all input.updated Wed Sep 10 20:28:49 EDT 2008Our new directory style was featured in a the right sidebar of the Jasmone MOD page today. Just click the directory link from the top page or in any of the recent galleries to view this new feature. Thesepages typically include links to the source databases, which often have chemical diagrams or useful additionalinformation about the molecules. A smiley code is currently featured at the bottom of each page. Smile.updated Thu Sep 4 22:28:57 EDT 2008Added quick navigation links to the left side bar. The site has reached 111 GB, and a massive backup is underway. We arestill just getting started.updated Thu Sep 4 13:30:20 EDT 2008Added developer links to the left side bar.updated Wed Sep 3 12:05:13 EDT 2008I have automated the process to make molecule galleries, which I am finding very useful to my research, so I thought that I would share the opportunity and take requests. It is quick and easy. I did a bisphenol search today, and as I expected, the search turned up a few stilbenes, which is the same molecular family as resveratrol. Strikingly, Bisphenol A is a noted teratogen, which shows that care must be taken when using such molecules during pregnancy, nursing, and development. Here is a link to the bisphenol gallery.http://molecules.gnu-darwin.org/mod/Bisphenol-more.htmlIf you would find it useful, I am definitely interested in taking requests for molecule galleries. Just send me the name of your favorite molecule. As you may be able to tell, we have access for galleries to about 1% or 0.5 million structures, in the total archive thus far, but it is already quite useful. The automated jobs are underway to fill in the rest. The next milestone is the capability to index and make galleries for the remaining millions of molecules for which we have pdb files already, which would be 5-10% complete. Any comments or suggestions are also welcome. updated Tue Sep 2 14:10:15 EDT 2008A terminal screenshot has been added to the right sidebar,in order to show the kindof code that is being used to generate the Molecules directory indices. All inquiries and suggestions are welcome.updated Fri Aug 29 14:39:14 EDT 2008Reaction to our website has been quite positive and encouraging, but people are anxious to see structures with improved stereochemistry. We have received many suggestions about howto make that happen faster. For the time being, we are experiencing the best structure viewing results with RasMOL. Name extraction and structure file linkingjobs are underway, which is an indication that we are still in a preliminary phase. Googlespiders more almost everyday, and past experience indicates that the search capability willbecome very useful indeed! Here is some secret mumbo jumbo. I'm afraid that my Japaneseor Korean is broken at best ;-}. Enjoy! Several new indices have been added to our sidebar, notably;current index by name, andgallery by name. These are large indices, but alsovastly incomplete, and work is underway to improve them. A list of bloggers who have mentioned the site, with links in their blogs, is now in the front sidebar, although only one is known thus far. Due to the vastness of the scale,many of these things will be divided out and buried a little deepereventually, but they can be showcased now, and they are a good survey.updated Tue Aug 19 19:45:09 EDT 2008Some facts: The Molecules website contains more than4 million small molecule structure files in pdb format,and molecular graphics representations. About 50million molecules are still in the pipe, and they are expectedto appear here over the course of the next few weeks and months.The pdb format is readable by common FOSS molecule viewer software, such as RasMol and PyMOL. In due course, we plan to provide high quality structures viaenergy minimization refinement, and additional resources.Molecules@gnu-darwin.org is founded in the spirit of free software, open source, and public access.It is hoped that access to these files will be a wonderful community resource for science education, research, and entertainment as well.We are looking for investment, funding, or sponsorship in order to expedite and expand this work, and lead the field,with an eye towards an advanced, complete, synthetic, structural, and informatical bioorganome. Meanwhile, the site is already an exceptional lab resource,and molecular catalog, providing the means and building blockstowards additional novel structures. We aim to be the best.The structural biology, protein crystallography, and molecular graphics talent that isbuilding the Molecules archive is available to work for you in a contract or consulting arrangement. Wide-ranging expertise is available.Molecules@gnu-darwin.org is built entirely withFOSS,free and open sourcesoftware, GNU-Darwin OS, and it is underthe aegis ofThe GNU-Darwin Distribution.Here is a link to theDistributionr sum .Our founder is an X-ray laboratory admin for theDepartment of Biophysics and BiophysicalChemistry of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. You can alsoread his CV.We would like to build a community around this website, and we are looking for volunteers and collaborators to help. Regarding any aspect of the work of this site, please feel free to contact us, molecules@gnu-darwin.org, with gdmolecules in the subject line. Cheers!
