The present study aims to explore the anticancer efficacy of Diosmin by inducing mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in human epidermoid carcinoma cells (Hep-2). This is done by cell line assays and studying crucial inflammatory and apoptotic signaling molecules. The cytotoxicity property of Diosmin was evaluated by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay.

Objective: The present work was carried out to evaluate the chemo preventive potential of (ethanol extract) seaweed on oxidative stress markers, bio transforming enzymes, incidence of tumors, and pathological observation in 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) exposed experimental mammary carcinogenesis.
Materials And Methods: Female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups.
Diosmin is naturally found flavanoid in many citrus fruits known to have anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antioxidant and antimutagenic properties. Effects of Diosmin on IL-6/STAT-3 expression in hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis remain unclear. Alterations in many genes encode crucial proteins, which regulate cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis have been implicated in oral cancer.

[6]-Paradol is a pungent phenolic bioactive component from ginger with well- documented health promoting antioxidant, antimutagenic, antigenotoxic and anti-inflammatory properties. However, anticarcinogenic effects have yet to be fully explored.
