## Abstract 2βMethoxyestradiol, a wellβknown nonpolar endogenous metabolite of 17Ξ²βestradiol, has been shown to selectively induce apoptosis in a number of cancer cell lines, but not in normal cells. The mechanism of 2βmethoxyestradiolβinduced apoptosis appears to vary considerably in different cel
2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME 2 ) is a novel anticancer agent because of its ability to potentiate apoptotic cell death and inhibit cancer cell growth and angiogenesis. The modes of action of this agent, however, have not yet been fully elucidated. In our study, we have investigated whether 2-ME2 is able
