Abstract
Plant-derived bioactive compounds displayed major therapeutic and chemo-preventive roles in the pathogenesis of numerous chronic malignancies such as cancer and enhanced oxidative stress and inflammation. Antioxidants found in food, such as genkwanin, may reduce oxidative stress and the release of cytokines or pathways that promote inflammation. The goal of this work is to summarize the potential for anticancer effects of genkwanin, a methoxyflavone that is present in a variety of plant species. This review examined and analyzed numerous research studies on identifying, isolating, measuring, and analyzing anticancer properties of genkwanin. The mechanisms involved cellular and molecular activities at various levels, including apoptosis induction and cancer cell growth and proliferation inhibition. Preclinical studies have demonstrated genkwanin’s effects and mechanism of action; however, further research is required to investigate its therapeutic potential thoroughly. Additional research is needed to further our understanding of the pharmacodynamic effects of genkwanin. Additional toxicological study is necessary to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of genkwanin, which would help scientists to elucidate a potent drug candidate for cancer management.
期刊介绍:
Open Chemistry is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research, reviews and short communications in the fields of chemistry in an ongoing way. The central goal is to provide a hub for researchers working across all subjects to present their discoveries, and to be a forum for the discussion of the important issues in the field. The journal is the premier source for cutting edge research in fundamental chemistry and it provides high quality peer review services for its authors across the world. Moreover, it allows for libraries everywhere to avoid subscribing to multiple local publications, and to receive instead all the necessary chemistry research from a single source available to the entire scientific community.
