Product Description: Cannflavin A can be isolated from Cannabis sativa L. Cannflavin A has anti-cancer, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory activity. Cannflavin A inhibits Aβ1-42 aggregation. Cannflavin A also inhibits kynurenine-3-monooxygenase (KMO). Cannflavin A activates apoptosis via caspase-3 cleavage[1][2][3][4].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neurodegeneration
Formula: C26H28O6
