Abstract excerpt
N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4HPR) is a synthetic retinoid that has been tested in clinical trials as a cancer chemopreventive drug. 4HPR is cytotoxic to cancer cells but the underlying molecular mechanisms are at present only partially understood. Here we demonstrate that in the human cervical cancer cell line HeLa and the human leukemia cell line HL-60, 4HPR caused rapid, Reactive Oxygen Species...
