Myricetin is a plant-derived flavonoid with strong antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It exhibits scavenging activity against radicals and ions, prevents cancer cell death via apoptosis through PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling, and shows antiphotoaging effects by quenching free radicals in the skin. It also inhibits ovarian cancer cell viability and human Hsp70.
