1. Desmethoxyyangonin (5,6-Dehydrokavain) protects LPS or LPS/D-GalN-induced damages in cell or liver tissues mainly through de-regulating IKK/NFκB and Jak2/STAT3 signaling pathways. 2. The induction of CYP3A23 by dihydromethysticin and Desmethoxy yangonin involves transcription activation, probably through a PXR-independent or PXR-involved indirect mechanism.
Dihydrokavain (Marindinin), a prominent kavalactone in the kava plant, significantly contributes to the plant's anxiolytic effects, as evidenced by a study conducted on chicks.
(E)-Flavokawain A, a novel chalcone from kava extract, induces apoptosis in bladder cancer cells by involvement of Bax protein-dependent and mitochondria-dependent apoptotic pathway and suppresses tumor growth in mice.
