Nobiletin was found to potentially inhibit cartilage degradation.[2]
Nobiletin was shown to augment AMPA receptor activity and long-term potentiation in cell culture.[3] Synergistic chemopreventive effects of nobiletin and atorvastatin on colon carcinogenesis have been described.[4]
Nobiletin enhances antitumor efficacy via suppression of IκB/NF-κB signaling in triple-negative breast cancer[5].
