NCIt definition : A tablet formulation of flavonoids with antioxidant and potential chemopreventive
activities. Polyphenolic, soluble plant pigment flavonoids inactivate oxygen radicals,
prevent lipid peroxidation, and inhibit DNA oxidation. In vitro, these agents have
been shown to increase the rate of apoptosis, and inhibit cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
Furthermore, flavonoids can induce conjugating enzymes, such as glutathione transferases
and glucuronosyltransferases.;
