Cancer chemopreventive activity of brassinin, a phytoalexin from cabbage
(1995)Brassinin [3-(S-methyldithiocarbamoyl aminomethyl indole], a phytoalexin first identified as a constituent of cabbage, was synthesized and evaluated for cancer chemopreventive activity. Dose-dependent inhibition of ...

Chemopreventive effects of soy protein and purified soy isoflavones on DMBA-induced mammary tumors in female Sprague-Dawley rats
(2001)There are conflicting reports on the effect of soy and its components on mammary carcinogenesis in adult female rats, mainly because of different rodent models that are used in chemoprevention studies. The present study ...

Phenoxodiol, a novel isoflavone derivative, inhibits dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary carcinogenesis in female Sprague-Dawley rats
(2003)The present study was undertaken to evaluate the potential cancer chemopreventive effects of novel synthetic derivatives of isoflavones. Initially these agents were tested in a mouse mammary organ culture (MMOC) model. ...

Prevention of preneoplastic mammary lesion development by a novel vitamin D analogue, 1α-hydroxyvitamin D5
(1997)Background: The form of vitamin D (vitamin D3) in fortified milk and the provitamin D produced by the body undergo metabolic activation to a biologically active form, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3]. This compound ...

Rotenoids mediate potent cancer chemopreventive activity through transcriptional regulation of ornithine decarboxylasetissue plasminogen activator-mediated thrombolysis
(1995)For the discovery of new cancer chemopreventive agents, we have studied the potential of plant extracts to inhibit phorbol ester-induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in cell culture. Four active rotenoids were ...

Structure-activity relationships of brassinin in preventing the development of carcinogen-induced mammary lesions in organ culture
(1994)Brassinin, a pkytoalexin, is found in Chinese cabbage. Previously, we showed that brassinin significantly inhibited dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary lesions in organ culture. Moreover, it was an effective ...
