Abstract excerpt
Induction of tumor cell apoptosis has been recognized as a valid anticancer strategy. However, therapeutic selectivity between tumor and normal cells has always been a challenge. Here, we report a novel anti-cancer compound methyl 3-(4-nitrophenyl) propiolate (NPP) preferentially induces apoptosis in tumor cells through P450-catalyzed reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. A compound sensitivity study on...
