| Vitexin - Apigenin-8-C-Glucoside Alternative Names: Apigenin-8-C-glucoside, apigenin-8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside Type: Flavone C-glycoside / apigenin derivative Function: Vitexin is a naturally occurring C-glycosylated flavone in which glucose is attached to apigenin at the C-8 position. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, neuroprotective, and antiproliferative activities and can modulate pathways involving NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1, MAPK, PI3K/AKT, AMPK, HIF-1α, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. -see also IsoVitexinCancer: Preclinical studies indicate antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-migratory, anti-invasive, and anti-inflammatory effects across multiple cancer models. Reported mechanisms include modulation of PI3K/AKT, MAPK, NF-κB, HIF-1α, ROS, apoptosis, and cell-cycle signaling. Clinical anticancer efficacy has not been established. Alzheimer's Disease: Preclinical evidence suggests neuroprotective activity through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, reduction of neuronal injury, regulation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, and modulation of signaling pathways relevant to cognitive impairment and amyloid-associated neurotoxicity. Clinical efficacy for Alzheimer's disease has not been established. |

| Cancer Stem Cells Phytochemicals (natural plant-derived compounds) that may affect CSCs: Curcumin — suppresses self-renewal and pathways (Wnt/Notch/Hedgehog). Resveratrol — shown to reduce CSC populations and sphere formation in multiple models. Sulforaphane (from broccoli sprouts) — reported to inhibit CSC properties and pathways; active in vitro and in vivo. EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate, green tea) — reduces CSC markers and sphere formation in several cancer types. Quercetin — reported to inhibit CSC proliferation, self-renewal and invasiveness (breast, endometrial, others). Berberine — shown to suppress CSC “stemness” and reduce tumorigenic properties in multiple models. Genistein (soy isoflavone) — decreases CSC markers, sphere formation and stemness signaling in prostate/breast/other models. Honokiol (Magnolia bark) — shown to eliminate or suppress CSC-like populations in oral, colon, glioma models. Luteolin — inhibits stemness/EMT and reduces CSC markers and self-renewal in breast, prostate and other models. Withaferin A (from Withania somnifera / ashwagandha) — multiple preclinical reports show WA targets CSCs and reduces tumor growth/metastasis in models.
