摘要: Kaempferia parviflora (KP), a health-promoting herb, has been traditionally used for treating variety of diseases. Pharmacological studies have claimed the various benefits from KP and its main effective methoxyflavones, including cellular metabolism-regulating activity, anticancer vascular relaxation cardioprotective sexual enhancing neuroprotective antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative antiosteoarthritis antimicroorganism transdermal permeable activity. These might be associated with increased mitochondrial functions activated cGMP-NO signaling pathway. However, underlying molecular mechanisms methoxyflavones are still under investigation. The clinical applications may limited due to their low bioavailability. But promising strategies on way. This review will comprehensively discuss biological activities methoxyflavones.
