We aimed to evaluate the effect of caffeine on viability, apoptosis, migration, redox profile and modulatory effect of the purinergic system of cutaneous melanoma cells. The melanoma cells SK-MEL-28 and non-tumoural CCD-1059sk cells were treated for 24 h with different concentrations of caffeine. Cell viability was evaluated by a biochemical assay and fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry assessed apoptosis induction.
