J Nutr Biochem. 2012 Apr;23(4):368-78.
Flavokawain B is a natural chalcone isolated from the rhizomes of Alpenia pricei Hayata. In the present study, we have investigated the antiproliferative and apoptotic effect of Flavokawain B (5-20 mug/ml; 17.6-70.4 muM) against human squamous carcinoma (KB) cells. Exposure of KB cells with Flavokawain B resulted in apoptosis, evidenced by loss of cell viability, profound morphological changes, genomic DNA fragmentation and sub-G1 phase accumulation. Apoptosis induced by Flavokawain B results in activation of caspase-9, -3 and -8, cleavage of poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) and Bid in KB cells. Flavokawain B also down-regulate Bcl-2 with concomitant increase in Bax level, which resulted in release of cytochrome c. Taken together, the induction of apoptosis by Flavokawain B involved in both death receptor and mitochondrial pathway. We also observed that Flavokawain B caused the G2/M phase arrest that was mediated through reductions in the levels of cyclin A, cyclin B1, Cdc2 and Cdc25C and increases in p21/WAF1, Wee1 and p53 levels. Moreover, Flavokawain B significantly inhibits matrix metalloproteinase-9 and urokinase plasminogen activator expression, whereas tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 were increased, which are playing critical role in tumor metastasis. In addition, Flavokawain B treatment significantly inhibited in vivo growth of human KB cell-derived tumor xenografts in nude mice, which is evidenced by augmentation of apoptotic DNA fragmentation, as detected by in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-meditated dUTP nick end-labeling staining. The induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by Flavokawain B may provide a pivotal mechanism for its cancer chemopreventive action.
The chalcones cardamonin and flavokawain B inhibit the differentiation of preadipocytes to adipocytes by activating ERK.[Pubmed:24845100]
Arch Biochem Biophys. 2014 Jul 15;554:44-54.
AIM: We searched for polyphenols capable of inhibiting the lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells, and investigated the mechanisms of two effective chalcones cardamonin and Flavokawain B on differentiation of preadipocytes. METHOD AND RESULTS: We treated 3T3-L1 cells with a panel of 46 polyphenols and measured intracellular lipid accumulation by Sudan II staining. Four of them, including cardamonin and Flavokawain B, inhibited lipid accumulation. In the further study, cardamonin and Flavokawain B inhibited lipid accumulation by downregulating the expression of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)-beta, C/EBPalpha, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) at both mRNA and protein levels. Cardamonin and Flavokawain B also increased phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in the early phase of adipocyte differentiation. PD98059, an ERK inhibitor, restored C/EBPbeta, PPARgamma expression and intracellular lipid accumulation in adipocytes. Moreover, cardamonin and Flavokawain B also modulated the secretion of C-reactive protein, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and fibroblast growth factor-21 in mature adipocytes. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that ERK activation and consequent downregulation of adipocyte-specific transcription factors are involved in the inhibitory effects of the chalcones cardamonin and Flavokawain B on adipocyte differentiation. Moreover, cardamonin and Flavokawain B are able to modulate secretion of adipokines in mature adipocytes.
In vivo antitumor and antimetastatic effects of flavokawain B in 4T1 breast cancer cell-challenged mice.[Pubmed:25834398]

Flavokawain B (FKB) is a naturally occurring chalcone that can be isolated through the root extracts of the kava-kava plant (Piper methysticum). It can also be synthesized chemically to increase the yield. This compound is a promising candidate as a biological agent, as it is reported to be involved in a wide range of biological activities. Furthermore, FKB was reported to have antitumorigenic effects in several cancer cell lines in vitro. However, the in vivo antitumor effects of FKB have not been reported on yet. Breast cancer is one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths in the world today. Any potential treatment should not only impede the growth of the tumor, but also modulate the immune system efficiently and inhibit the formation of secondary tumors. As presented in our study, FKB induced apoptosis in 4T1 tumors in vivo, as evidenced by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling and hematoxylin and eosin staining of the tumor. FKB also regulated the immune system by increasing both helper and cytolytic T-cell and natural killer cell populations. In addition, FKB also enhanced the levels of interleukin 2 and interferon gamma but suppressed interleukin 1B. Apart from that, FKB was also found to inhibit metastasis, as evaluated by clonogenic assay, bone marrow smearing assay, real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and proteome profiler analysis. All in all, FKB may serve as a promising anticancer agent, especially in treating breast cancer.
Flavokawain B inhibits the growth of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells via p53 and caspase-dependent mechanisms.[Pubmed:25641429]
Leuk Lymphoma. 2015;56(8):2398-407.
The development of novel chemotherapeutic drugs is needed for the treatment of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In this study, the anti-leukemic effect and the potential molecular mechanisms of action of Flavokawain B on ALL were investigated. Flavokawain B was found to significantly inhibit the cellular proliferation of B-ALL and T-ALL cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. It also induced cellular apoptosis by increasing the expression of p53, Bax and Puma, and activating the cleavage of caspase-3 and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP). Furthermore, the enhancement of p53-dependent apoptosis by Flavokawain B could be rescued by pifithrin-alpha, a pharmacological inhibitor of p53 transcriptional activity. Moreover, the proliferation of leukemia blast cells from 16 patients with ALL was inhibited by Flavokawain B, and tumor growth in xenograft mice was also suppressed by this drug. In conclusion, our results demonstrate the therapeutic potential of Flavokawain B for the treatment of ALL.
