DNA fragmentation and apoptosis induced by safranal in human prostate cancer cell line

1 Jul 2013

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Apoptosis, an important mechanism that contributes to cell growth reduction, is reported to be induced by Crocus sativus (Saffron) in different cancer types. However, limited effort has been made to correlate these effects to the active ingredients of saffron. The present study was designed to elucidate cytotoxic and apoptosis induction by safranal, the major coloring compound in saffron, in a human...
