It is extracted from Dipteryx odorata seeds, found to be active in induction of quininereductase, and thus prevents chemical carcinogenesis. In a dose- and time-dependentmanner, it significantly inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer cells,and this isoliquiritigenin-induced cell cycle arrest and antiproliferative effects maybe manifested by growth arrest- and DNA damage-inducible gene 153 (GADD153).It induces apoptosis in prostate cancer cells through mitochondrial apoptosispathway in which mitochondrial membrane potential is disrupted, cytochrome-cand Smac/Diablo are released, and caspase-9 is activated. It is reported to enhancethe expression of universal inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases, p21CIP1/WAF1, in adose- and time-dependent manner in A549 human lung cancer cells (Kanazawaet al. 2003; Ii et al. 2004; Balunas and Kinghorn 2005; Jung et al. 2006).
