Method for treating tumors caused by APC gene mutation with anthocyanins and cyanidin

The present invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting the growth and cell cycle progression in carcinoma cells comprising the step of contacting the cells with an anthocyanin rich extract (ARE) in an amount effective to inhibit the growth and cell cycle progression of the carcinoma cells without effecting the growth and cell cycle progression on normal cells. The invention further provides therapeutic compositions and methods of inhibiting the growth and cell cycle progression of carcinoma cells in a patient comprising administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of an anthocyanin-rich extract with the proviso that the anthocyanin rich extract does not effect the growth and cell cycle progression of normal cells in the patient. In preferred embodiments, the anthocyanin-rich extract useful in the compositions and methods of the invention are derived from chokeberry, bilberry, grape or combinations thereof. In preferred embodiments the carcinoma cells are colon carcinoma cells.

Hibiscusanthocyanins for inhibiting cancers

A method for deriving compositions having antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity from berries is provided. The method results in a berry extract compositions having stable anthocyanin content. In one aspect, the method comprises exposing a berry to a solvent composition having a pH of from about 1 to about 4.5, and recovering a berry extract having a stabilized anthocyanin content. The berry may be a blackberry. A cryoprotectant may be added, to further stabilize the anthocyanin content. Compositions comprising the berry extract of the present invention, formulated for oral and/or topical administration, are provided also, including nutritional supplements, capsules, enteric-coated capsules, film-coated capsules, tablets, enteric-coated tablets, film-coated tablets, chewing gums, lotions, creams, mucoadhesive gels, vanishing lotions, vanishing creams, and the like. In yet another aspect, the present invention provides methods and compositions for treating inflammation, oxidative damage, or cancer in a mammal.
