Hesperetin is a natural flavanone found in citrus that acts as a potent, orally active, broad-spectrum inhibitor against human UGT activity. It induces apoptosis through p38 MAPK activation and displays various bioactivities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Hesperetin can induce cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, reduce Bcl-2, enhance BaxM, and inhibit the NF-κB receptor to induce apoptosis.
