| Bioactivity | Fisetin is a natural flavonol found in many fruits and vegetables with various benefits, such as antioxidant, anticancer, neuroprotection effects. |
| Invitro | Fisetin inhibits lipid accumulation and suppresses the expression of PPARγ in 3T3-L1 cells. Fisetin suppresses early stages of preadipocyte differentiation, and induces expression of Sirt1. Fisetin facilitates Sirt1-mediated deacetylation of PPARγ and FoxO1, and enhances the association of Sirt1 with the PPARγ promoter, leading to suppression of PPARγ transcriptional activity, thereby repressing adipogenesis[1]. Fisetin binds to tubulin and stabilizes microtubules with binding characteristics far superior than paclitaxel. Fisetin treatment of human prostate cancer cells results in robust up-regulation of microtubule associated proteins (MAP)-2 and -4. Fisetin significantly inhibits PCa cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Nudc, a protein associated with microtubule motor dynein/dynactin complex that regulates microtubule dynamics, is inhibited with Fisetin treatment[2]. |
