Xanthohumol is a prenylated flavonoid most abundant in hops. It is found in beers and refreshment drinks. It can attenuate several factors of the metabolic syndrome. It has been reported to inhibit adipogenesis or increase cell apoptosis and therefore can be used in preventing obesity. Xanthohumol inhibited angiogenesis by suppressing NF-κB activity in pancreatic cancer. Xanthohumol may represent a novel therapeutic agent for the management of pancreatic cancer. Moreover, it is in phase I clinical trials for preventing many types of cancer. It has a range of other biological properties: antiviral, antimalarial, antibacterial and as an osteoporosis preventing agent.
