sobrerol/neoplasms

Pinecones from Pinus koraiensisSiebold & Zucc. (Pinaceae), which have historically been treated as an undesired waste by-product in the processing of seeds, have recently been shown to contain ingredients with potent biological activities, such as polyphenols exhibiting antitumor activity. With this

A number of dietary monoterpenes have chemopreventive activity against rat mammary cancer. For example, d-limonene, which comprises over 90% of orange peel oil, has chemopreventive activity against rodent mammary cancer during the initiation phase as well as the promotion/progression phase.

We have previously demonstrated the anticarcinogenic effects of monocyclic monoterpenes such as limonene when given during the initiation phase of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary cancer in Wistar-Furth (WF) rats. Here we investigated the possible mechanisms for this

BACKGROUND Mangifera pajang Kosterm is a plant species from the mango family (Anacardiaceae). The fruits are edible and have been reported to have high antioxidant content. However, the detailed phytochemical studies of the plant have not been reported previously. This study investigates the

The monoterpene d-limonene has been shown to an effective, non-toxic chemopreventive agent in mammary and other rodent tumor models. The studies reported here investigated structure-activity relationships among limonene and three hydroxylated derivatives in the prevention of
