Coumarin-related compounds, auraptene and umbelliferone, have been isolated from the cold-pressed oil of natsumikan (Citrus natsudaidai HAYATA), and tested as inhibitors of tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced Epstein-Barr virus activation in Raji cells. The 50%

The in vitro cytotoxic activity on human cancer cell lines of sixteen commercial EOs such as Aloysia triphylla , Boswellia carterii , Boswellia serrata , Cinnamomum zeylanicum , Cistus ladanifer , Citrus × aurantium , Citrus limon , Citrus sinensis , Cymbopogon citratus , Foeniculum vulgare ,

This study aimed to evaluate the selective cytotoxicity of six natural compounds on four cancerous cells (MCF-7, HeLa, Caco-2 and A549) and two normal intestinal and lung cells (Hs1.Int and Wl-38) cells. We also attempted to analyze basically the structure-activity relationships and to understand

Fatty acid synthase (FAS) had been found overexpress and hyperactive in most cancers. Pharmacological inhibitors of FAS activity preferentially repress cancer cell proliferation and induce cancer cell apoptosis without affecting nonmalignant fibroblasts. These made FAS an excellent drug target for
