It has been suggested that designing “hybrid drug molecules” of plumbagin by combining it with other appropriate anticancer agents may lead to the generation of novel and potent anticancer drugs with pleiotropic action against human cancers.

From data, a mechanism for the DNA strand scission reaction of quercetin and related flavonoids is proposed andCu(I) was shown to be an essential intermediate by using the Cu(I)-sequestering reagents, neoc uproine and bathocuproine.

Findings demonstrate the promotion of hydroxyl-radical-mediated DNA damage by endogenous Cu2+ and demonstrate that the internucleosomal DNA 'laddering' that is often used as an indicator of apoptosis may also result from DNA fragmentation by non-enzymic processes.

The topical application of capsaicin did not induce the epidermal ornithine decarboxylase activity, suggesting that it lacks tumor-promotional activity, and the compound ameliorated the mouse skin carcinogenesis when given simultaneously with the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate.

The activities of several flavonoids and the related nonflavonoid compound epicatechin were compared with respect to Cu(II)-induced strand scission of DNA by using two different assays and analysis of the data led to a discussion of alternative Cu( II)-sequestering mechanisms.
