Research progresses in antiproliferative properties of pterostilbene / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Pterostilbene,a dimethyl ester derivative of resveratrol with antioxidant and antiproliferative properties,has been shown to inhibit a variety of primary tumors and act as a potential chemopreventive agent in carcinogenesis.The anticancer mechanisms of pterostilbene include inducing tumor cell apoptosis,causing cell cycle arrest,blocking tumor cell growth and proliferation signal transduction.Pterostilbene is expected to develop to a new generation of anticancer drug,and will be paid more attention in the future.
