Abstract excerpt
The effects of the bioflavonoid quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) on the growth and cell cycle progression of the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB468 have been studied. Quercetin inhibited cell proliferation with an IC50 (a drug concentration which inhibited growth by 50% following a 3-day exposure) value of 7 micrograms/ml. In actively growing cultures, the addition of quercetin resulted in the...
