Xanthohumol is a prenylated flavonoid isolated from hops, which is known to act as a pleiotropic cancer chemopreventive agent owing to its anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. In the present study, we analyzed, for the first time, whether this dietary compound may also be used for the treatment of endometriosis.
