Targeting arachidonic pathway by natural products for cancer prevention and therapy
Arachidonic acid (AA) pathway, a metabolic process, plays a key role in carcinogensis. Hence, AA pathway metabolic enzymes phospholipase A2s (PLA2S), cyclooxygenases (COXs) and lipoxygenases (LOXs) and their metabolic products, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, have been considered novel preventive and therapeutic targets in cancer."
"Curcumin, resveratrol, apigenin, anthocyans, berberine, ellagic acid, eugenol, fisetin, ursolic acid, [6]-gingerol, guggulsteone, lycopene and genistein are well known cancer chemopreventive agents which act by targeting multiple pathways, including COX-2."
