Features:
Myricetin (MYR; 3,3′,4′,5,5′,7-hexahydroxyflavone) is a dietary flavonol polyphenol abundant in berries, tea, red wine, and some medicinal plants. Its dominant biology is redox-active modulation with context-dependent pro-oxidant capacity, ranking conceptually as:
(1) ROS modulation (scavenging at low dose; pro-oxidant at higher dose or with metal redox cycling),
(2) PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK pathway inhibition,
(3) NF-κB suppression and inflammatory signaling control, and
(4) mitochondrial apoptosis induction (caspase activation, ΔΨm disruption).
Bioavailability is limited by low aqueous solubility and rapid conjugation (glucuronidation/sulfation); reported human plasma levels after dietary exposure are typically sub-micromolar (<1 µM), while many in-vitro cancer studies use 10–100 µM, often exceeding realistic systemic exposure. Clinical evidence remains preclinical-dominant; no robust RCT-grade anticancer efficacy established. Redox duality implies potential chemo-sensitization in oxidative tumors but also theoretical protection of normal tissue.

Myricetin (MYR) — Cancer-Relevant Pathway Effects

Rank Pathway / Axis Cancer Cells (↑/↓/↔ + qualifiers) Normal Cells (↑/↓/↔ + qualifiers) TSF Primary Effect Notes / Interpretation
1 ROS Modulation ↑ ROS (high conc., pro-oxidant); ↓ ROS (low conc.) ↓ ROS (protective; dose-dependent) P–R Redox stress induction or buffering Metal-chelating flavonol; can shift to pro-oxidant under tumor oxidative stress, enabling apoptosis.
2 PI3K/Akt/mTOR ↓ Akt phosphorylation (model-dependent) ↔ / mild inhibition R–G Anti-proliferative signaling Common in breast, colon, and prostate cell models; often ≥10 µM required.
3 MAPK (ERK/JNK/p38) ↓ ERK; ↑ JNK/p38 (stress-activated; context) ↔ / adaptive stress response R Pro-apoptotic signaling shift Promotes apoptotic cascades via stress kinase activation.
4 NF-κB ↓ NF-κB activation ↓ NF-κB (anti-inflammatory) R–G Anti-inflammatory modulation May reduce tumor-promoting inflammation.
5 Mitochondrial Apoptosis (Caspase / ΔΨm) ↑ Bax; ↓ Bcl-2; ↑ caspase-3 ↔ / protective at low dose R–G Intrinsic apoptosis activation Frequently observed in leukemia and solid tumor models at supra-physiologic doses.
6 NRF2 Axis ↔ / mild ↑ (context-dependent) ↑ NRF2 (cytoprotection) R–G Adaptive antioxidant response Less potent NRF2 activator than electrophilic isothiocyanates.
7 Ca²⁺ Signaling ↑ intracellular Ca²⁺ (mitochondrial stress; model-dependent) ↔ R Apoptosis facilitation Reported in some hepatoma and leukemia models.
8 Ferroptosis ↔ / potentially ↓ (iron-chelating) ↔ — Lipid peroxidation modulation Chelation may counter ferroptosis unless combined with pro-oxidant triggers.
9 Clinical Translation Constraint Low oral bioavailability; plasma <1 µM; most anticancer studies use 10–100 µM — PK limitation Conjugation and rapid metabolism limit systemic tumor exposure.

Also called CCND1 Gatekeeper of Cell-Cycle Commitment
The main function of cyclin D1 is to maintain cell cycle and to promote cell proliferation. Cyclin D1 is a key regulatory protein involved in the cell cycle, particularly in the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase. It is part of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) complex, where it binds to CDK4 or CDK6 to promote cell cycle progression.
Cyclin D1 is crucial for the regulation of the cell cycle. Overexpression or dysregulation of cyclin D1 can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation, a hallmark of cancer.
Cyclin D1 is often found to be overexpressed in various cancers.
Cyclin D1 can interact with tumor suppressor proteins, such as retinoblastoma (Rb). When cyclin D1 is overexpressed, it can lead to the phosphorylation and inactivation of Rb, releasing E2F transcription factors that promote the expression of genes required for DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression.
Cyclin D1 is influenced by various signaling pathways, including the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways, which are often activated in cancer.
In some cancers, high levels of cyclin D1 expression have been associated with poor prognosis, making it a potential biomarker for cancer progression and treatment response.
