**prostate cancer : In a recent study done on mice, apigenin was also found able to suppress prostate cancer progression inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis.
**leukemia : In studies on the effectiveness of apigenin on the treatment of leukemia, scientists discovered how apigenin was able to induced natural cell death (apoptosis) in U937 human leukemia cells, exerting also anti-leukemic activity in vivo. It was also discovered that tumor growth in U937 xenografts was attenuated, something that raises the hopes for the medical industry to find proper ways to use this chemopreventive properties on the development of new medicines against leukemia.
**human myelogenous erythroleukamia and bladder carcinoma.The effects of various types of flavones, among them Apigenin and Luteolin, on two different cancer cell lines, including human chronic myelogenous erythroleukaemia (K562) and bladder carcinoma (RT112) were also part of other studies in the subject of flavones inhibitory properties on human tumor cancer cell lines. The results of one of this studies showed taht the cytotoxic effects of flavones (apigenin and luteolin) on the already mentioned cancer cell lines suggested that flavones Apigenin and Luteolin could be considered as potential chemotherapeutic agents [8].
*It is also well known that diets rich in flavones, as Apigenin, are very beneficial for our health, protecting it against cardiovascular and neurological disorders.
