Fisetin is a flavonol, a structurally distinct chemical substance that belongs to the flavonoid group of polyphenols. It can be found in many plants, where it serves as a colouring agent. Its chemical formula was first described by Austrian chemist Josef Herzig in 1891.[1]

Fisetin can be found in various plants such as Acacia greggii,[2] Acacia berlandieri,[2] in the yellow dye young fustic from Rhus cotinus (Eurasian smoketree), in Butea frondosa (parrot tree), Gleditschia triacanthos, Quebracho colorado, and the genus Rhus[3] and in Callitropsis nootkatensis (yellow cypresses). Strawberries are a good food source of fisetin.[4] It is also reported in mangoes.[citation needed]

Biological activity

Fisetin is a potent sirtuin-activating compound (STAC),[5] an agent that modulates sirtuins. Therefore, it is a caloric restriction mimetic candidate, a drug that has been shown to be able to alleviate aging effects in certain model organisms such as the yeast S. cerevisiae,[5] the nematode C. elegans[6] and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.[6] Whether such effects can be replicated in humans is currently still not entirely clear and remains an issue of scientific research and debate.

Aside from its effects on aging, various in vitro studies have shown fisetin to exert anti-inflammatory[7][8] and anti-carcinogenic[9][10] effects in different lines of culture cells. However, because in vitro experiments do not or only incompletely mimic the metabolisation fisetin undergoes in the body, they may not accurately reflect the actual effects of fisetin in vivo.

Similar to many other flavonoids such as the structurally related flavonol quercetin, fisetin is a potent antioxidant. Its antioxidative activity may be due to its structural properties[11] as well as to its ability to modulate certain cellular signalling pathways, especially protein kinase and lipid kinase pathways. For example, fisetin has been shown to induce the transcription factor Nrf2,[12] leading to increased expression of several protective and antioxidative genes.

One study at the Salk Institute found that fisetin may help improve memory and protect the brain from the onset of Alzheimer's disease and also that it may be useful for reducing kidney failure in diabetics.[4]

Side effects

Fisetin was, among other flavonoids, found to be a strong topoisomerase inhibitor.[13] This effect may be responsible for both anticarcinogenic and carcinogenic potentials of the substance.[14] Fisetin among other flavonoids is suspected to increase risk of infant leukemia (which is rare disease).[15]
