β¦ Synopsis
Addition of 40 mg 1-1 hydroxyurea to Solanum aviculare cultures resulted in complete inhibition of growth and an increase in the levels of steroidal alkaloids in the biomass. These results demonstrate that solasodine synthesis and growth can be uncoupled, and suggest that steroidal-alkaloid production can be significantly enhanced by inhibiting growth at high cell density. Treatment with 1 rng 1-1 abscisic acid had a negligible effect on growth and product synthesis.

## Abstract Quercetin is a flavonoid present in many vegetables, fruits, and beverages. Due to its antiβoxidant, antiβtumor, and antiβinflammatory activity, quercetin has been studied extensively as a chemoprevention agent in several cancer models. Since most of these studies used higher doses of q
Background: (E)-2Π-deoxy-2Π-(fluoromethylene)-cytidine (FMdC), an irreversible inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase, displays a strong toxicity towards many cell lines derived from human solid tumors, while its activity on leukemia lines is less well-known. The aim of this study was to assess the e
