Vitexin is an apigenin flavone glycoside and it is extensively present in numerous edible and medicinalplants. It is considered as important as other flavonoids. It possessed a variety of biological properties,including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anticancer, neuron-protective, cardio-protective, hepatopancreatic protective effects. Other reported health relevant effects, includes fat reduction and glucosemetabolism. The possible mechanism of protective effect through activation or inhibition of the differentsignaling pathways like AMPKa, Nrf-2, mTOR, PUMA, MMP, PARP, JNK, p38, Bcl-2/Bax ratio etc.The molecular targets of vitexin are very critical to utilize its potential effect as emerging chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agent.
