About the compound: | Fisetin is a 7-hydroxyflavonol with additional hydroxy groups at positions 3, 3' and 4'. It has a role as an EC 5.99.1.3 [DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing)] inhibitor, an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory agent, a metabolite, a plant metabolite and a geroprotector. It is a 3'-hydroxyflavonoid, a 7-hydroxyflavonol and a tetrahydroxyflavone. It is a conjugate acid of a fisetin(1-). Fisetin is an orally bioavailable naturally occurring polyphenol found in many fruits and vegetables, with potential antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic, senolytic, and longevity promoting activities. Upon administration, fisetin, as an antioxidant, scavenges free radicals, protect cells from oxidative stress, and is able to upregulate glutathione. It inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB). Fisetin promotes cellular metabolism, reduces senescence, regulates sirtuin function and may promote longevity. Fisetin also exerts anti-cancer activity by inhibiting certain signaling pathways. It also inhibits certain anti-apoptotic proteins and induces apoptosis in susceptible cells. GHS Hazard Statements • H315 (100%): Causes skin irritation [Warning Skin corrosion/irritation] • H319 (100%): Causes serious eye irritation [Warning Serious eye damage/eye irritation] • H335 (85.71%): May cause respiratory irritation [Warning Specific target organ toxicity, single exposure; Respiratory tract irritation] |
