by Olivia Cook, Natural News<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n (Natural News<\/a>) Cancer chemoprevention with natural phytochemical compounds is an emerging strategy to prevent, impede, delay or cure cancer. Below are\u00a018 phytochemicals,<\/a>\u00a0or compounds, produced by plants that scientists believe can protect cells from damage that could lead to cancer, as studied in the research article published in\u00a0Anti-cancer Agents in Medical Chemistry<\/em>.<\/p>\n TRUTH LIVES on at\u00a0https:\/\/sgtreport.tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n Apigenin is a flavone present in vegetables, such as parsley, celery, chamomile and the Egyptian plant\u00a0Moringa peregrina<\/em>.<\/p>\n In a study published in\u00a0Cell and Bioscience<\/em>, apigenin was reported to suppress various human cancers\u00a0in vitro<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0in vivo<\/em>\u00a0by multiple biological effects, such as\u00a0triggering cell apoptosis and autophagy<\/a>, inducing cell cycle arrest, suppressing cell migration and invasion and stimulating an immune response.<\/p>\n Crocetin is a kind of diterpenoid natural carotenoid found in plants, such as saffron.<\/p>\n A study published in\u00a0Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology<\/em>\u00a0found that crocetin affects the growth of cancer cells by\u00a0inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis<\/a>, enhancing the anti-oxidative system, inducing apoptosis and hindering growth signaling pathways. (Related:\u00a09 Anti-cancer foods you cannot ignore<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is the major component of the popular Indian spice turmeric. Its anti-cancer effects have been studied for brain tumors, breast cancer, colon cancer and lung metastases.<\/p>\n A study published in\u00a0BMC Cancer<\/em>\u00a0found that curcumin\u00a0inhibits angiogenesis in some tumors<\/a>\u00a0by suppressing angiogenic cytokines. Due to the strong relationship between inflammation and cancer, the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin would well result in its anti-tumor effects.<\/p>\n Cyanidin is an extract of pigment from red berries, such as apples, blackberries, cranberries, grapes, plums, raspberries, red cabbage and red onion.<\/p>\n A study published in\u00a0Chemical Biology & Drug Design<\/em>\u00a0found that\u00a0cyanidin produces its effects against cancer<\/a>\u00a0by inhibiting [RAS (reticular activating system) and MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase)] and activating (caspases-3 and P-38) innovative molecular pathways. It may cause\u00a0cell cycle arrest<\/a>, cell differentiation processes and changes in redox status, which trigger the cytotoxic chemotherapeutic effects.<\/p>\n I3C is found in\u00a0Brassica<\/em>\u00a0vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower and collard greens. DIM is a digestion derivative of I3C via condensation formed in the acidic environment of the stomach.<\/p>\n In a study published in\u00a0F1000 Research<\/em>, researchers implicated I3C and DIM in the induction of phase 1 detoxification enzymes, which can result in the\u00a0breakdown of other dietary carcinogens<\/a>. Both\u00a0in situ<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0in vivo<\/em>\u00a0studies point to a role for I3C as a chemoprotective agent in breast and prostate cancer.<\/p>\n EGCG is the most abundant catechin compound in green tea. A study published in\u00a0Scientific Reports<\/em>\u00a0suggested that EGCG can strongly\u00a0engender apoptosis and inhibit growth<\/a>\u00a0in several types of cancers, including brain, breast, colon and kidney cancers, as well as leukemia, as demonstrated by\u00a0in vivo<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0in vitro<\/em>\u00a0research.<\/p>\n Fisetin is a flavone found in various plants, such as apple,\u00a0Acacia berlandieri<\/em>,\u00a0Acacia greggii<\/em>, cucumber, Eurasian smoke tree, grape, onion, parrot tree, persimmon and strawberries.<\/p>\n In a study published in\u00a0Food Science & Nutrition<\/em>, fisetin as a polyphenol with pleiotropic pharmacological properties was found to\u00a0prevent progression in cell cycle<\/a>\u00a0and cell growth and induce apoptosis.<\/p>\n Genistein is an isoflavone that originates from a number of plants, such as coffee, fava beans,\u00a0Flamingo vestita<\/em>, kudzu, lupine, psoralea, soybeans.<\/p>\n A study published in\u00a0Advances in Nutrition<\/em>\u00a0indicated that genistein acts as a chemotherapeutic agent against different types of cancer, mainly by\u00a0altering apoptosis<\/a>, the cell cycle and angiogenesis and inhibiting metastasis.<\/p>\n Gingerol is the active component of fresh ginger with a distinctive spiciness. The anti-cancer activities of ginger against colorectal cancer have been well documented with its active component gingerol inhibiting the growth and proliferation of colorectal cancer cells.<\/p>\n In a study published in\u00a0Gastroenterology Research and Practice<\/em>, 6-gingerol\u00a0inhibited the growth of colon cancer<\/a>\u00a0HCT116 cells.<\/p>\n Kaempferol is a natural flavonol isolated from apples, broccoli, Brussels sprout, grapefruit, tea, Witchhazel and others.<\/p>\n A study published in\u00a0Molecules<\/em>\u00a0indicated that kaempferol exerts its anti-cancer activity by\u00a0preventing cell migration<\/a>\u00a0and invasion, inhibiting MMP-3 protein, downregulating AKT phosphorylation and increasing the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity.<\/p>\n Lycopene is a bright red pigment and phytochemical from red carrots, red papayas, tomatoes and watermelons.<\/p>\n A study published in the\u00a0Journal of Pharmacy & BioAllied Sciences<\/em>\u00a0indicated that lycopene quenches singlet oxygen, scavenges free radicals and prevents the oxidative damage of DNA \u2013\u00a0preventing the potential transformation<\/a>\u00a0of normal cells to cancer cells.<\/p>\nApigenin<\/h3>\n
