Abstract

We have previously shown that 2, 3' , 4, 5' -tetramethoxystilbene(TMS), a trans-stilbene analogue, is one of the most potently selective inhibitor of recombinant human cytochrome P450 1B1 in vitro. In the present studies, the effects of TMS on the expression of cytochrome P450 1B1 were investigated in human mammary cell lines such as MCF-7 and MCF-10A. (omitted)
