Abstract excerpt
We previously identified the induction of senescence in melanoma cell lines sensitive to diterpene esters, indicating a therapeutic potential. Here we compared the cytostatic effects of two diterpene esters: the prototypic PKC-activating drug TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate), and the novel compound PEP008 (20-O-acetyl-ingenol-3-angelate) in cell lines derived from melanoma, breast cancer and colon...
