Kaempferol has extensive pharmacological activities, including antitumor, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anxiolytic, analgesic and antiallergic activities. Researches show that Kaempferol can reduce the risk of cancer, can inhibit proliferation and invasion of tumor cells by inducing apoptosis, regulating cell cycle, inhibiting angiogenesis and tumor metastasis. Meanwhile, kaempferol can suppress tumor growth by regulating the oxidative stress reaction and inhibiting inflammatory cytokines. In a word, kaempferol has broad prospects in cancer prevention and treatment.
