Nowadays, in developing countries like India, incidence of lung cancer is increasing rapidly, and as a consequence it has become the most common cause of malignancy-associated death. This study is aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of beta-ionone (ION), a precursor for carotenoids against
A series of endoperoxides (3a-j) were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against four human cancer cell lines by using SRB dye assay. All the compounds displayed moderate to high cytotoxic effect against almost all investigational cancer cells. Particularly, compounds bearing electron
The optimum approach to conquering cancer is prevention. Although the human diet contains components which promote cancer, it also contains components with the potential to prevent it. Recent research shows that milk fat contains a number of potential anticarcinogenic components including conjugated
Carotenoids are widely used as important micronutrients in food. Furthermore, carotenoid supplementation has been used in the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress such as various types of cancer, inflammatory diseases or cystic fibrosis. However, in some clinical studies harmful
Carotenoids are widely used as important micronutrients in food. Furthermore, carotenoid supplementation has been used in the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress. However, in some clinical studies harmful effects have been observed, for example, a higher incidence of lung cancer
Lycopene has become a focal point in recent research following clinical trials that suggest that beta-carotene may promote lung cancer in smokers. Because lycopene only differs from beta-carotene in lacking the beta-ionone structure, and beta-carotene is known to have pro-oxidant activity in vitro,
