Mechanism of cell death induced by cis-3, 4', 5-trimethoxy-3'-aminostilbene in ovarian cancer.

Objective: Stilbene derivative, cis-3, 4', 5-trimethoxy-3'-aminostilbene (stilbene 5c), is highly potent to induce cell death in ovarian cancer cells. This study is to investigate its mechanism to induce cell death.

Methods: UCI101 ovarian cancer cells were used for this study.
