Honokiol, a natural plant product, inhibits the bone metastatic growth of human prostate cancer cells

Results:

Honokiol induced apoptosis in all cell lines tested. In PCa cells honokiol induced apoptosis via the activation of caspases 3, 8, and 9 and the cleavage of poly-adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Honokiol was shown to inhibit the growth and depress serum PSA in mice harboring C4-2 xenografts in the skeleton and the combination with docetaxel showed additive effects that inhibited further growth without evidence of systemic toxicity. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed honokiol exhibited growth-inhibitory, apoptotic, and antiangiogenic effects on PCa xenografts.

Conclusions:

The combination of honokiol and low-dose docetaxel may be used to improve patient outcome in androgen-independent prostate cancer with bone metastasis.

There are lots of papers showing the benefits of honokiol in a number of cancers. The problem is bioavailability. Mitochondria targeted honokiol seems to overcome the problem, but outside of the lab, where would you get hold of it? Maybe NAL would know how to make it.

EcoNugenics sells a product called HonoPure.
