Possible Interaction: Resveratrol and Chemopreventive Agent

“Substances found in everyday diet, such as genistein, apigenin, quercetin, resveratrol , and curcumin may also have potential chemopreventive qualities.”

“ Chemopreventive agents may act by blocking carcinogen activation, inducing carcinogen metabolism (such as the action of oltipraz on aflatoxin), altering intracellular … cyclooxygenase-2 [COX-2]).9 Numerous compounds in animal models exhibit chemopreventive effects, including phytochemicals (i.e., curcumin, resveratrol , epigallocatechin gallate, caffeine, silymarin, silibinin, … virus; SAMe, S-adenosylmethionine.”

“ Resveratrol has been reported to be one of the most potent chemopreventive agents inhibiting the cellular processes associated with tumor development, including initiation, promotion, and progression.”

“Recent studies have shown that RSV inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells and may represent a potent agent in chemopreventive therapy.”

“Multiple lines of evidence from laboratory studies suggest that resveratrol , a polyphenolic antioxidant present in grapes, has potent chemopreventive activity.”
