Protoapigenone, a Novel Flavonoid, Inhibits Ovarian Cancer Cell Growth In Vitro and In Vivo

This 2008 study evaluates the anticancer potential of protoapigenone, a naturally occurring flavonoid isolated from fern species, in ovarian cancer models. In vitro, protoapigenone suppressed proliferation and colony formation of ovarian cancer cell lines (MDAH-2774 and SKOV3) by inducing apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest. Mechanistically, it activated stress signaling

Resveratrol Inhibits the Growth of Gastric Cancer by Inducing G1 Phase Arrest and Senescence in a Sirt1-Dependent Manner

This 2013 study explores the antiproliferative effects of resveratrol on gastric cancer cells through a Sirt1-dependent pathway. Resveratrol treatment caused significant G1 phase arrest and cellular senescence without inducing apoptosis. Mechanistically, it downregulated cyclin D1, CDK4, and CDK6 while upregulating p21 and p16, halting cell cycle progression. In vivo experiments
