Quercetin as a Lyn kinase inhibitor inhibits IgE-mediated allergic conjunctivitis

This study evaluated the effects of quercetin, a plant-derived flavonoid, on IgE-mediated allergic conjunctivitis using both in vitro cell cultures and in vivo mouse models. Quercetin was shown to significantly reduce mast cell degranulation and the release of histamine and inflammatory mediators, resulting in marked improvements in allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.
