Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Kahweol is an antioxidant diterpene contained in unfiltered coffee. Kahweol behaves as an anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic compound with potential use in antitumoral therapies. Recent research have demonstrated the ability of Kahweol in inhibiting metastasis by modulating expressions of MMPs and VEGF via STAT3 inactivation. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Kahweol is a diterpenoid with formula C20H26O3, isolated from the beans of Coffea arabica. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenesis and anti-proliferative properties. It has a role as an angiogenesis inhibitor, an apoptosis inducer, an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory agent, an antineoplastic agent and a plant metabolite. It is a diterpenoid, a member of furans, an organic heteropentacyclic compound, a tertiary alcohol and a primary alcohol. | [Biological Activity]
Induces glutathione S-transferase. Has anti-cancer, chemoprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic properties. |
