Journal ArticleDOI

Dealkylation of pentoxyresorufin: a rapid and sensitive assay for measuring induction of cytochrome(s) P-450 by phenobarbital and other xenobiotics in the rat.

TL;DR: The O-dealkylation of pentoxyresorufin by rat liver microsomes was examined and it was observed that this activity, in microsome for Aroclor-pretreated rats, was dependent on O2 and was inhibited by metyrapone and SKF 525-A, indicative of cytochrome P-450 mediation in the reaction.
Journal Article

Chemopreventive Effect of Curcumin, a Naturally Occurring Anti-Inflammatory Agent, during the Promotion/Progression Stages of Colon Cancer

TL;DR: Administration of curcumin to the rats during the initiation and postinitiation stages and throughout the promotion/progression stage increased apoptosis in the colon tumors as compared to colon tumors in the groups receiving AOM and the control diet.
Journal Article

The cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib is a potent preventive and therapeutic agent in the min mouse model of adenomatous polyposis.

TL;DR: These results provide the first evidence that selective inhibitors of COX-2 are safe and effective for the prevention and regression of adenomas in a mouse model ofAdenomatous polyposis and strongly support ongoing clinical trials in humans with the same syndrome.
Journal Article

Chemoprevention of Colon Cancer by Specific Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitor, Celecoxib, Administered during Different Stages of Carcinogenesis

TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence that celecoxib is also very effective when it is given during the promotion/progression stage of colon carcinogenesis, indicating that the chemopreventive efficacy is achieved during the later stages of colon tumor development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progress in Cancer chemoprevention : Development of diet-derived chemopreventive agents

TL;DR: Because of their safety and the fact that they are not perceived as "medicine," food-derived products are highly interesting for development as chemopreventive agents that may find widespread, long-term use in populations at normal risk.
