Abstract excerpt
Recently, it has been shown that 9-hydroxyellipticine (9-HE), an antitumor alkaloid has a unique property of restoring functional wild-type (wt) p53 activity via inhibition of mutant (mt) p53 protein phosphorylation. In the present study, we investigated the effect of 9-HE on the drug sensitivity of human pancreatic cancer cells. Exposure of cells to 9-HE at a relatively low concentration of 1 microM induced...
