Abstract:Prostate cancer possesses long latency periods and is responsive to dietary mediators, making it a target for phytochemoprevention. It has been reported that spinach consumption can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer leading our lab to look at structures of compounds present in spinach. We chose to study spinacetin and patuletin, two novel isoflavones found in spinach. We hypothesized that these spinach compounds would inhibit prostate cancer in vitro in the mouse prostate cancer cell line, TRAMP-C2, and … Show more
