Myristoleic acid, a cytotoxic component in the extract from <i>Serenoa repens</i>, induces apoptosis and necrosis in human prostatic LNCaP cells

Abstract

It was demonstrated that the extract from S. repens and myristoleic acid induces mixed cell death of apoptosis and necrosis in LNCaP cells. These results suggest that the extract and myristoleic acid may develop attractive new tools for the treatment of prostate cancer.
