Flavokawain A is a?chalcone found in the kava plant. It induces apoptosis in bladder cancer cells via a Bax protein-dependent and mitochondria-dependent apoptotic pathway. Furthermore, natural chalcones have been?implicated as lead compounds for developing dual inhibitors against?histone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs)?and NF-κB. | [Definition]
ChEBI:Flavokawain A is a member of chalcones. | [storage]
