Flavokawain Cis achalcone found in the kava plant. Studies showed thatFlavokawain C can inhibit cell cycle and promote apoptosis in HCT 116 cells. In addition, natural chalcones have beenimplicated as lead compounds for developing dual inhibitors againstHistone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs) and NF-κB. Flavokawain C is a related compound Flavokawain A (F371020).
