Flavokawain C is an orally active natural chalcone. Flavokawain C inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cells. Flavokawain C upregulates GADD153 in cancer cells, inhibits the phosphorylation of Akt and JNK, suppresses early ERK phosphorylation, activates late ERK phosphorylation, activates caspase related subtypes, induces PARP-1 cleavage, causes upregulation of p21 and p27, downregulation of mutant p53 and anti-apoptotic IAP proteins, elevates intracellular ROS levels, reduces SOD activity, and induces apoptosis. Flavokawain C downregulates FABP4, induces autophagy in cancer cells, and activates the AMPK/mTOR pathway. Flavokawain C decreases the expression of glycolysis-related proteins GLUT1 and HK2, and inhibits glycolysis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Flavokawain C inhibits the activation of the EGFR/PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and reduces the expression of HSP90B1. Flavokawain C inhibits angiogenesis by decreasing the expression of angiogenic proteins Ang-1 and VEGF in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Flavokawain C increases gamma-H2AX levels in cells, inhibits the phosphorylation of FAK, PI3K and AKT in cells, and induces DNA damage in cells. Flavokawain C exerts anti-tumor activity in multiple tumor xenograft mouse models. Flavokawain C is applicable to research related to colorectal cancer, colon adenocarcinoma, nephroblastoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and liver cancer[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
