Cafestol, a natural compound present in coffee beans, functions as a glutathione S-transferase (GST) inducer. It has been found to stimulate the production of growth factor-β1 (GF-β1) and potent inducers like mcl-1 protein. Moreover, cafestol has demonstrated the ability to inhibit the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines and downregulate the expression of inflammatory genes. Furthermore, cafestol displays anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and reducing leukocyte chemotaxis. Cafestol, in addition, inhibits angiogenesis by disrupting the signaling pathways of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors.
