What Is Luteolin And How Is It Different From Quercetin?

 

Luteolin extract is a natural flavonoid compound belonging to tetrahydroxyflavone, which has a typical antioxidant activity group. It is slightly soluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents. If nano-encapsulation technology is used, the bioavailability can be improved.

 

Main natural sources:

 

Sources	Representative species	Content (mg/100g)
Vegetables	Celery, green pepper, carrot	10-50
Herb	Chrysanthemum, rosemary, thyme	50-200
Fruit	Apple peels, citrus peels	5-20
Cereals	Buckwheat, sorghum	15-30

 

 

1. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
Best luteolin reduces chronic inflammation by removing reactive oxygen species and inhibiting the NF-κB pathway. Studies have found that it is better than salicylic acid in relieving colitis.

 

2. Neuroprotective
It can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and inhibit the aggregation of beta-amyloid protein. Animal studies have found that it can improve cognitive function.

 

 

3. Anti-allergic and immunomodulatory
It can block histamine H1 receptors and relieve hay fever symptoms.

 

4. Anti-tumor potential
Pure luteolin targets the PI3K/AKT pathway and inhibits breast cancer cell metastasis.

 

 

1. Medicine and health products

• Anti-allergic drugs: It can be used with quercetin to relieve rhinitis.
• Neurodegenerative diseases: AD auxiliary treatment capsules.

 

2. Cosmetics
Use luteolin nanoliposomes to make cosmetics for better anti-aging.

 

3. Functional food
Luteolin powder can be added to anti-aging drinks.

 

 

Product	Core differences	Application
Quercetin	Better water solubility, but weaker anti-inflammatory activity	Protect cardiovascular
Apigenin	Similar in structure, but poor in ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier	Skin anti-allergy
Baicalin	Stronger antibacterial properties, but with a higher risk of hepatotoxicity	Adjunctive treatment of infectious diseases
