Application
Cafestol acetate has been used to determine the effects of coffee on heat shock response (HSR).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cafestol is a coffee-specific diterpene. It has anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory activities. Cafestol stimulates apoptosis in cells associated with colorectal and renal cancer (Caki cells). It is used to study mechanisms of anti-oxidation related to hydrogen peroxide induced oxidative stress and DNA damage. Cafestol increases the level of glutathione (GSH), by stimulating γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase. It acts as a chemopreventive agent by inducing cytochrome P-450.
Other Notes
Furan-containing diterpene from green coffee beans.

Coffee drinking appears to reduce cancer risk in liver and colon. Such chemoprevention may be caused by the diterpenes kahweol and cafestol (K/C) contained in unfiltered beverage. In animals, K/C treatment inhibited the mutagenicity/tumorigenicity of several carcinogens, likely explicable by

5-Dimethylaminopropylamino-8-hydroxytriazoloacridinone (C-1305) is a promising antitumor compound developed in our laboratory. A better understanding of its metabolic transformations is still needed to explain the multidirectional mechanism of pharmacological action of triazoloacridinone derivatives at all. Thus, the aim of the current

There is an increasing evidence that oxidative stress is implicated in the processes of inflammation and carcinogenesis. It has been shown that kahweol and cafestol, coffee-specific diterpenes, exhibit chemoprotective effects. This study investigated the effects of kahweol and cafestol, coffee-specific
