Kaempferol is a natural flavonol, a type of flavonoid.

Chemistry

Kaempferol is a yellow crystalline solid with a melting point of 276–278 °C. It is slightly soluble in water but soluble in hot ethanol and diethyl ether.

Natural occurrences

It can be isolated from tea,[1] broccoli, Delphinium, Witch-hazel, grapefruit, cabbage, kale, beans, endive, leek, tomato, strawberries, grapes, brussels sprouts, apples and other plant sources.

kaempferol and its glucoside can be isolated from the methanolic extract of fronds of the fern Phegopteris connectilis. [2]

Biological activity

Some epidemiological studies have found a positive association between the consumption of foods containing kaempferol and a reduced risk of developing several disorders such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Numerous preclinical studies have shown that kaempferol and some glycosides of kaempferol have a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, anti-osteoporotic, estrogenic/antiestrogenic, anxiolytic, analgesic and antiallergic activities (see review article).[3]

Many glycosides of kaempferol, such as kaempferitrin and astragalin, have been isolated as natural products from plants. Kaempferol consumption in tea and broccoli has been associated with reduced risk of heart disease.[4] A related compound, Naringenin may be present at the same time, such as in grapefruit.

Kaempferol is what gives the flowers of Acacia decurrens and Acacia longifolia their color.[5] Antidepressant properties have been reported in tests on animals.[6][unreliable source?][7],[8]

An 8-year study found that three flavonols (kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin) reduced the risk of pancreatic cancer by 23 percent.[9]

Kaempferol consumption appears to reduce lung cancer incidence.[10]

Kaempferol may be a potent prophylactic against NOX-mediated neurodegeneration.[11]

Metabolism

The enzyme kaempferol 4'-O-methyltransferase uses S-adenosyl methionine and kaempferol to produce S-adenosylhomocysteine and kaempferide.

Glycosides

Kaempferol as a longevity promoting agent

The SIRT1 member of sirtuin deacetylases has been shown, along with PGC-1α, to mediate the life span extension associated with caloric restriction. SIRT1 deacetylates protein substrates, thus altering their activity or function. SIRT1 interacts directly with PGC-1α to mediate gluconeogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis by deacetylating and activating PGC-1α. The activators of SIRT1 polyphenols resveratrol and kaempferol have been shown to increase mitochondrial function and energy expenditure.[16]

A study used the multicellular model organism nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to examine the effects of the flavonoids kaempferol and fisetin on their protective action in individual living worms. The results showed that both flavonoids increased the survival of C. elegans, reduced the intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS) accumulation at lethal thermal stress, and diminished the extent of induced oxidative stress. Kaempferol had a stronger impact. Kaempferol also attenuated the accumulation of the ageing marker lipofuscin suggesting a life prolonging activity of this flavonoid. Fisetin did not have this effect.[17]
