Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A clinical trial with prostate cancer patients submitted to the association of ascorbic acid-menadione was performed and PSA/homocysteine was assessed in the follow- up."2.71Serum markers variation consistent with autoschizis induced by ascorbic acid-menadione in patients with prostate cancer. ( Cucchi, S; Golomar, W; Gordon, W; Lasalvia-Galante, E; Lasalvia-Prisco, E; Vázquez, J, 2003)
"Using a mouse model of prostate cancer, the combination of α-TOS, VK3 and AA was more efficient in tumor suppression than when the drugs were given separately, without deleterious side effects."1.38Alpha-tocopheryl succinate inhibits autophagic survival of prostate cancer cells induced by vitamin K3 and ascorbate to trigger cell death. ( Alleva, R; Borghi, B; Dong, L; Garrone, B; Goodwin, J; Guerrieri, R; Manzella, N; Milanese, C; Neuzil, J; Nguyen, M; Nocchi, L; Santarelli, L; Staffolani, S; Tomasetti, M, 2012)
"The redox-silent vitamin E analogue alpha-tocopheryl succinate (alpha-TOS) was used in combination with VK3 and AA to evaluate their effect on prostate cancer cells."1.36alpha-Tocopheryl succinate promotes selective cell death induced by vitamin K3 in combination with ascorbate. ( Guerrieri, R; Neuzil, J; Santarelli, L; Staffolani, S; Strafella, E; Tomasetti, M, 2010)
"Quercetin alone was cytotoxic on both cell lines, but demonstrated an additional 50-percent cytotoxicity on PC-3 cells when combined with VC:VK₃."1.36The vitamin C:vitamin K3 system - enhancers and inhibitors of the anticancer effect. ( Brignall, MS; Brinton, CA; Gu, YH; Lamson, DW; Plaza, SM; Sadlon, AE, 2010)
