## Introduction: Epidemiological data suggests that 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-asa), a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, prevents colorectal cancer development in these patients, although the mechanisms remain incompletely understood. ## Methods

## Abstract **Scope:** The objective of this study was to elucidate molecular mechanisms behind the antitumor activities of the isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SFN) in colorectal cancer cells. **Methods and results:** Cell growth was determined by BrdU incorporation and crystal violet staining. Prote
## Abstract Flavone and camptothecin were both shown to potently induce apoptosis in HT‐29 human colon cancer cells. Whereas camptothecin acts on the basis of topoisomerase‐I inhibition, flavone appears to burst mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species by increasing respiratory chain act
## Abstract Raloxifene (RAL), a selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator (SERM) seems to induce apoptosis in both androgen‐dependent and ‐independent prostate cell (PC) lines via activation of ERβ and an antagonistic effect on ERα. In this study, we evaluated the effects of RAL on epithelial PC g
