Description

Camalexin is a phytoalexin found in various cruciferous plants after exposure to environmental stresses. Studies on acute myeloid leukemia cells show that camalexin selectively decreases cell viability. Several studies have already shown that exposure to camalexin causes cell shrinkage and phospholipid scrambling in the membrane of human erythrocytes. Camalexin treatment of prostate cancer cells indicate that camalexin may be more potent toward the more aggressive strain of cells C4-2 as versus the less aggressive strain LNCaP.
