CAS 521-48-2: Isoxanthohumol

Isoxanthohumol

Isoxanthohumol is a natural compound that belongs to the flavonoids group. It has been shown to act as an inhibitor of toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, which is a pathway that leads to inflammatory responses. Isoxanthohumol also has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, which are due to its ability to disrupt hydrogen bonding interactions with proteins. Isoxanthohumol can be found in hops and beer, where it contributes to the bitterness and flavor of the beverage. It has been shown that xanthohumol, another flavonoid found in hops, has genotoxic activity and may be carcinogenic for humans.

Isoxanthohumol from hops fights cancer, blocks lung tumor spread, and combats herpes and BVDV.
