7,4'-Dihydroxy-8-methylflavan can significantly promote mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) osteogenic differentiation by increasing the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. 7,4'-Dihydroxy-8-methylflavan also has free radical scavenging properties.
Hederagenin 3-O-(2-O-acetyl-α-L-arabinopyranoside) significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and enhanced the protein expression levels of bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OC).
