20090264377 | Anti-neoplastic compositions comprising extracts of black cohosh - A method is provided for treating, preventing or ameliorating neoplasia in a subject. This method includes administering to the subject an amount of actein or an amount of an extract of black cohosh that contains a triterpene glycoside, which amount of the actein or black cohosh is effective to treat, prevent or ameliorate the neoplasia, in combination with an amount of a statin which is effective to treat, prevent, or ameliorate the neoplasia. Related methods for treating, preventing or ameliorating breast cancer, or liver cell neoplasia are also provided. In addition, methods for modulating a cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and a stress response pathway in a subject are provided. These methods include administering to a subject a composition comprising an anti-neoplastic synergistic amount of a statin and actein. Compositions for carrying out such methods are also provided. | 10-22-2009 |
