Chemopreventive Allylthiopyridazines, K compounds, Inhibit Invasion, Migration and Angiogenesis in SK-Hep-1 Hepatocarcinoma Cells Possibly via MMP-2 Downregulation

Abstract

Dietary organosulfur compounds have been shown to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells. Synthetic sulfur-containing compounds including oltipraz exert chemopreventive and hepatoprotective effects. We previously showed that synthetic allylthiopyridazine derivatives designated as K compounds induced apoptosis in SK-Hep-1 hepatocarcinoma cells (Eur. J. Cancer: 37, 2104-10, 2001). (omitted)
