Kaempferol is a naturally occurring flavonoid shown to act as a potent reversible inhibitor of Fatty Acid Synthase. Flavonoids have radical scavenging activity. Studies demonstrate that Kaempferol induces apoptosis in cancer cell lines and PC12 cell research reports Kaempferol to protect against oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity. Additionally, it may act to have a neuroprotective effect and represses the advancement of allergic inflammation mediated by IgE in difference cell models. A study which compared the CYP246 activity of Galangin (sc-235240), quercetin (sc-206089), and Kaempferol revealed that Kaempferol was the least potent flavanoid, with quercetin having the highest potency. Kaempferol acts as an inhibitor of Cox-1 activity (IC50 = 180 muM) and inhibits Topo I catalyzed DNA religation in HL-60 cells. It is also an inhibitor of MAO.
